Re-cut 2.17.0 as 2.17.1: the 2.17.0 release never shipped — the Play
handoff failed before the F-Droid publish and left no tag, no APK and no
release anywhere. Its changelog section moves to 2.17.1 unchanged so
users still get the full "What's New" on update.
actions/upload-artifact@v4 reads any non-github.com forge as GHES and
refuses to run, so the AAB handoff failed on Gitea and took the whole
2.17.0 release down with it — the step sat before the F-Droid publish
without continue-on-error, so no APK shipped, no tag, no Codeberg
release.
Switch both sides to the patched fork (pinned to a commit), move the
AAB build + handoff to the end of the release job, and make both
non-fatal.
