Fix python -V verification, install Python with --default
uv python install only creates a versioned python3.14 executable, so the macOS and Linux verification steps told readers to run `python -V` and expect success when they would actually hit "command not found" -- right at the guide's "You're all set!" line. Install with --default on all three platforms, which creates the python and python3 executables the guide promises, and drop the `uv run python -V` workaround that was papering over this on Windows. Verified against uv 0.11.29: a clean install now yields python -V -> Python 3.14.6 on all platforms. Also: - Correct sample output; uv prints no "Searching for Python 3.14" line and lists the installed executables - Update 3.14.2 -> 3.14.6, note patch version and timing will vary, and resolve the "3.12+ recommended" vs installing 3.14 contradiction - Rewrite venv activation to teach isolation rather than availability, since --default makes "you can use python directly" a non-statement - Warn that --default repoints python when installing multiple versions - Fix two silently-ignored .rumdl.toml keys: disabled-rules -> disable and MD048.code-fence-style -> MD048.style, which is why intentional inline HTML was flagged on every run - Refresh README's stale "complex decision tree" framing

Apply rumdl fmt, fix MD044 rewriting the repo URL
Formatting only: list markers to '-', blank lines before the horizontal rules following the HTML anchors, blank lines after changelog headings, and a consistent horizontal rule style. One non-cosmetic fix: MD044's proper-names rule was rewriting the link text "https://github.com/..." to "https://GitHub.com/...", so the page would render a capitalized URL on every fmt run. The link text is now descriptive rather than a raw URL, which sidesteps the rule and also drops the dangling "visit the GitHub repository here".

Cut 2026.07.16 release, prose and dash pass
Move the Unreleased entries into a dated release matching the existing YYYY.MM.DD - slug convention, and leave Unreleased empty for next time. Prose: - Replace em dashes with plain hyphens or shorter sentences across the guide and README, keeping dashes where they earn their place - Tighten the --default explanation, which used "default" three times - Fix a comma splice in the experimental-warning note - "which interpreter python points to" rather than tangling Python/python Step 3 no longer opens by telling readers to close and reopen a terminal they already reopened in Step 1. Once ~/.local/bin is on PATH, python resolves as soon as the install finishes (verified with an isolated PATH), so the reopen is now a fallback after the expected output, where someone who actually needs it will look. Two changelog entries were stale: one claimed we added the reopen reminder we ended up removing, and the fmt/MD044 work was unrecorded.
