📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updates the chart release to v0.17.1 by bumping the chart version, changing the README install command, and adding the new changelog entry. It also adds release-process documentation for patch versus minor/major changelog cuts and updates scripts/gen-changelog.sh to source patch-release sections from the matching release branch, with missing-branch and empty-range handling.
