docs: flip to python3=3.11 default (3.12 available); trim the pillow noise

Browse source 
Per operator decision: stop fighting FreeBSD's PYTHON_DEFAULT=3.11 — python3 is
3.11 everywhere, python3.12 stays available for apps needing newer. This makes
Pillow trivial (py311-pillow imports on python3), so the prior "3.12 floor +
py312-pillow absent + run on 3.11 explicitly" explanation collapses.

- TOOLCHAIN.md: table row + decision section flipped to 3.11-default and cut to a
  few lines (supersedes the 17.jun.2026 "3.12 floor" decision); symlink note now
  says build.sh points python3 at 3.11.
- CAPABILITY-ROUTING.md: trimmed the osa line + worked example — image-render via
  py311-pillow on python3, no version gymnastics.
- HOST-MATRIX.md: trimmed the operator-image image-render/screenshot note.

prettier + layered_soul validate clean. Dates in edited blocks use EU format.

## [DESIGN] Worked example: the tmux-screenshot skill
This illustrates the routing flow (now runnable over the [LIVE] cross-host topology above):
1. FreeBSD ships no `py312-pillow` flavor in the quarterly repo, but the default-flavor
`py311-pillow` is prebuilt and `python311` is already present (clawdie-iso #84). The
**operator image now ships it** (clawdie-iso #85): `clawdie-join-hive.sh` advertises
`image-render` (Pillow on 3.11) and `screenshot` when a display is present. So the XFCE
operator image qualifies for both; headless osa would get `image-render` only (no display,
and `py311-pillow` not added there yet).
1. The FreeBSD operator image ships `py311-pillow` (clawdie-iso #85), so
`clawdie-join-hive.sh` advertises `image-render` (Pillow on `python3` = 3.11) and
`screenshot` when a display is present.
2. The skill manifest declares `required_capabilities: ["image-render"]` (or `screenshot`).
3. Both **domedog** (Linux, `image-render`/`ffmpeg`) and the **FreeBSD operator image**
(`image-render` + `screenshot` via `py311-pillow`, clawdie-iso #85) now advertise these.
`screenshot` additionally needs a display, so a _headless_ host (domedog, osa) does not
qualify for it — the operator image, with its XFCE session, does.

## Conventions
### Python — never pin the version in a shebang
- Scripts use `#!/usr/bin/env python3`. **No `python3.11` / `python3.12` shebangs.**
- The interpreter is selected by a **symlink provided at image/host setup time**, so a
future bump (3.12 → 3.13) is a one-line change in one place, not a sweep across scripts.
- **FreeBSD ISO build provides the symlink** (FreeBSD pkg ships `python3.12` but no bare
`python3`):
```sh
# in clawdie-iso build.sh, version-agnostic:
py_bin=$(ls "${MOUNT_POINT}/usr/local/bin"/python3.* 2>/dev/null \
| sed 's@.*/@@' | grep -E '^python3\.[0-9]+$' | sort -V | tail -1)
ln -sf "${py_bin}" "${MOUNT_POINT}/usr/local/bin/python3"
ln -sf "${py_bin}" "${MOUNT_POINT}/usr/local/bin/python"
```
- venv creation calls `python3 -m venv` (resolves via the symlink) — **not** `python3.12 -m venv`.
- **uv is the standard venv/dependency manager** across all OSes. Prefer `uv venv` / `uv pip`
/ `uv sync` over raw `python -m venv` + `pip` so resolution and lockfiles match everywhere.
uv itself is interpreter-agnostic and picks up whatever `python3` resolves to.
- Scripts use `#!/usr/bin/env python3`. **No version-pinned shebangs.** The interpreter is a
symlink set once at image/host setup, so a version change is one edit, not a sweep.
- FreeBSD ships no bare `python3`; `clawdie-iso build.sh` points it at **3.11** (prefers
`python3.11`, else the lowest installed).
- venv creation calls `python3 -m venv` (resolves via the symlink) — never a pinned version.
- **uv is the standard venv/dependency manager** across all OSes (`uv venv` / `uv pip` /
`uv sync`); it picks up whatever `python3` resolves to.

## Python 3.12 standardization (decision, 2026-06-17)
## Python — 3.11 default, 3.12 available (decision)
Consensus of operator + Hermes + Claude. Standardize on **Python 3.12 floor** everywhere.
`python3` is **3.11** on every host — FreeBSD's `PYTHON_DEFAULT`, so we don't fight it. 3.11
has everything we use (`zoneinfo`, `match`/`case`, `tomllib`). **3.12 stays installed as
`python3.12`** for anything that genuinely needs newer (call it explicitly or use a uv venv).
- **Rationale:** available on Debian 13 and FreeBSD 15 via pkg; has needed stdlib
(`zoneinfo`, `match`/`case`); avoids 3.13 bleeding-edge quirks. Unifies a stack that was
drifting (debby Docker 3.13, domedog 3.12, OSA 3.11).
- **No code blocker:** `hermes-bsd/pyproject.toml` already allows `>=3.11,<3.14`; Hermes
scripts use `env python3`.
- **FreeBSD 3.11/3.12 coexistence (clawdie-iso #84):** FreeBSD's `PYTHON_DEFAULT` is **3.11**,
so system pkgs (git, libinput, npm-node24, …) pull `python311` transitively. `python312` is
the **application** Python and wins the `python3` symlink via `sort -V`. Both coexist
intentionally — "3.12 floor" is the floor for _our_ code, not a ban on the 3.11 the base
drags in.
- **FreeBSD packaging reality:** OSA's quarterly repo publishes `python312`, but not the
matching `py312-aider_chat`, `py312-pillow`, `py312-pip`, or `py312-pygobject` flavors yet —
only the **default-flavor `py311-*`** are prebuilt. Keep `py312-*` extras out of
`pkg-list-*.txt` until they exist; install those into explicit 3.12 venvs with uv/pip when
needed. **Exception worth noting:** for Pillow, the prebuilt `py311-pillow` is available, so
`image-render` can run on the already-present 3.11 instead of compiling Pillow into a 3.12
venv (see [`CAPABILITY-ROUTING.md`](./CAPABILITY-ROUTING.md)).
- **ISO direction:** `clawdie-iso` should carry `python312`, version-agnostic `python3`
symlinks in `build.sh`, and `python3 -m venv` calls. Drop packages such as `gnumeric`
when they keep the old Python flavor alive transitively.
FreeBSD package flavors are the default `py311-*` (e.g. `py311-pillow` → `image-render`);
`py312-*` aren't in the quarterly repo, so keep them out of `pkg-list-*.txt`.
Supersedes the 17.jun.2026 "3.12 floor" decision — 3.11 is what the base ships and nothing we
run requires 3.12.
