chore(repo): back-merge main into dev after v0.2.17 release (#270)

[w7-mgfcode]

Post-release back-merge for v0.2.17.

Closes #270.

⚠️ MERGE WITH `--merge`, NOT SQUASH

Per memory `back-merge-needs-merge-commit` and the v0.2.16 precedent (#255):

gh pr merge 271 --merge   # ← when CI is green; do NOT use --squash / --rebase

Squashing the back-merge flattens the two-parent merge commit so main never becomes an ancestor of dev, and the next dev → main release PR keeps re-conflicting on the release-please version files.

What's in this PR

The diff is exactly the release-please commit on main for v0.2.17:

• CHANGELOG.md — ## [0.2.17] section
• pyproject.toml — version bump
• .release-please-manifest.json — ".": "0.2.17"

Nothing else. No new feature work.

Verify after merge

git fetch origin
git rev-list --parents -n 1 origin/dev | tr ' ' '\n' | wc -l   # expect 3 (commit + 2 parents)
git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main origin/dev && echo OK # expect OK
