release: 0.6.17

[solvemproblr]

Summary

Bump the HUD SDK package version from 0.6.16 to 0.6.17 for the next stable release.

Changes since v0.6.16:

• Project selection for environment deployment and taskset sync, including complete project pagination and failure exit codes for rejected uploads (feat(cli): place environments and tasksets in a Project #589).
• Persist Anthropic refusal explanations in agent traces (fix(agents): persist Anthropic refusal explanations #660).
• Correct a typo in the agent evaluation documentation (Fix typo in agent evaluation description #662).

Verification

• Built the wheel and source distribution with uv build.
• Verified wheel metadata reports Name: hud and Version: 0.6.17.
• uv run --extra dev pytest -q hud/tests/test_version.py passed.

After merge, run Pre-release on main. Once it succeeds, publish GitHub release v0.6.17 targeting that exact validated commit. The Release workflow then publishes hud to PyPI and updates the docs branch.

Note

Low Risk
Single constant version bump with no runtime or API behavior changes in the diff.

Overview
Bumps the published HUD SDK version string from 0.6.16 to 0.6.17 in hud/version.py as the version marker for the next stable release (feature work is already on main; this PR is the release cut).
