Use python3 as the canonical command name course-wide (#104)
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

Add a delete <index> command to the CLI

Type: feature · Priority: p2 · Labels: cli, ready, agent

Context

tasks-app can add, list, and mark a task done, but there's no way to remove a task. Once a task is added by mistake it stays forever. The done command already takes an index and mutates the list through a method on TaskList, so a delete command should follow the exact same shape. This is a patterned change, not a design problem.

Acceptance criteria

  • python3 cli.py delete <index> removes the task at that 0-based index and saves the list.
  • After deleting, the remaining tasks keep their relative order.
  • delete with an out-of-range or non-integer index prints a clear error (e.g. no task at index 99) and exits non-zero, instead of dumping a traceback.
  • The logic lives on TaskList (a remove(index) method or equivalent), mirroring how complete works; cli.py only parses arguments and calls it.
  • A test covers: a successful delete removes the right task, and an out-of-range delete is handled.

Out of scope

  • Changing how tasks are stored or numbered.
  • Bulk delete, undo, or a confirmation prompt.
  • Reworking the existing add / list / done commands.
