Levenshtein 0.27.5 (pulled in via requirements.txt since PR softagram#208) requires Python >=3.11, so pip install -r requirements.txt already fails on 3.8/3.9/3.10. setup.cfg still advertised python_requires >=3.8 and classifiers down to 3.8. No CI matrix tests older interpreters, so the gap goes unnoticed until someone hits it. Narrow python_requires and the classifiers to >=3.11 to match what is actually installable, and update the two docs pages that quoted 3.8 as the minimum.
