Inline comments:
In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 4: The release notes header "### Bug Fixes" is skipping from the
top-level release heading and triggers markdownlint MD001; update the "### Bug
Fixes" heading to "## Bug Fixes" (or adjust the changelog heading levels
consistently) so the heading hierarchy is H1 -> H2 and the linter error is
resolved.
- Line 1: The compare URL in the CHANGELOG header for "0.17.1" is reversed
(currently "v0.17.1...v0.17.0"); update the markdown link target so it follows
the previous...current pattern by swapping the tags to "v0.17.0...v0.17.1" in
the header line "#
[0.17.1](https://github.com/go-webauthn/webauthn/compare/v0.17.0...v0.17.1)".
Ensure the visible release text remains "0.17.1" while only changing the compare
URL segment.
