Use python3 as the canonical command name course-wide (#104)
CI / check (pull_request) Successful in 7s

Most current systems (default Debian/Ubuntu, recent macOS) install Python
only as `python3`, with no bare `python` on PATH, so learners who copied
`python cli.py ...` into their host shell hit "command not found".

Convert host-shell `python <cmd>` -> `python3 <cmd>` across module/lab
READMEs, lab `.py` docstrings & usage strings, blog posts, lab prompt and
instruction files, the M04 verify.sh message, and the M10/M24 lab patches.
Module 01's convention note (and its blog/02 mirror) is rewritten so
`python3` is canonical and `python` is the documented fallback.

Stop-lines respected: Docker image tags (`python:3.12-slim`), `.venv/.../python`
and `...\.venv\Scripts\python.exe` paths, the M20 `"command": "python"`
teaching example and surrounding venv prose, container-internal invocations
(M16/M18 Dockerfiles, M16 README `docker run` examples), and CI-workflow
`run:` steps fed by `actions/setup-python` / `image: python:3.12` are left
as `python` on purpose.

pip was left out of scope: most occurrences are prose or CI/container-internal,
and `pip3` does not fix the PEP 668 externally-managed-environment refusal that
the course already addresses with venvs. The M01 note is worded to stay
consistent with bare `pip` (use whichever pip pairs with your Python).

Build (tools/build_wiki.py) and tools/check.sh both pass.

Closes #104

The lab is deliberately low-stakes: you're writing issues, not code, so your AI assistant can stay in a browser tab. Against the `tasks-app` repo you pushed to a forge:
1. **Find three real pieces of work.** A bug (`python cli.py done 99` and `done abc` both crash (run them and watch)), a small patterned feature (`delete <index>`, mirroring `done`), and a judgment-heavy one (task priorities).
1. **Find three real pieces of work.** A bug (`python3 cli.py done 99` and `done abc` both crash (run them and watch)), a small patterned feature (`delete <index>`, mirroring `done`), and a judgment-heavy one (task priorities).
2. **Draft all three as well-formed issues:** title, context with repro steps, acceptance criteria, out-of-scope. This is a great place to *use* the AI: paste a file, ask it to draft acceptance criteria, then **edit them down.** The model over-produces; tightening its draft is exactly the skill.
3. **Create, label, and route them.** Assign the priorities feature to a human (it has open design questions). Earmark the bug and the `delete` feature for an agent: actual agent assignee, an `agent-ready` label, or just a note saying "suitable for an issue-to-PR agent." The mechanism doesn't matter yet; the *decision* does.
4. **Write one sentence per issue explaining why it went where it went**, in terms of the issue's clarity, not the model's smarts. That sentence *is* the routing skill.
