docs: uv-first source install, Python 3.11 stated up front#85
Merged
Conversation
The maintainer hit `pip install -e .` failing on a Mac with Python 3.14 because the project pins `>=3.11,<3.12`. State the Python 3.11 requirement before the venv step in every source-install block, and recommend uv (which auto-downloads 3.11) with plain venv as the alternative for those who already have python3.11. - README.md "From source (developers)": 3.11 up front; uv-first block with venv alternative; note to rerun the editable install only when pyproject.toml changes. - docs/USER_GUIDE.md "From source (Linux, other platforms, and developers)": same treatment for both the quick git+ install and the track-main editable clone; Windows activation note. - CONTRIBUTING.md: mention `uv pip install -e .` alongside `pip install -e .`.

Follow-up to #84's source-install docs after a real failure: a Mac with Python 3.14 hits the project's >=3.11,<3.12 pin when following the steps.
uv venv --python 3.11+uv pip install -e .; plain venv retained as the alternative.Docs only. Suite: 1232 passed, 5 pre-existing xfails.
