Subject: [PATCH] Drop Python 3.10 support

The project currently supports Python 3.10, which is in security-only
maintenance and reaches end-of-life in October 2026.

This commit will drop Python 3.10 from package metadata and CI,
target Python 3.11 for type checking and Ruff upgrades, and adopt
Python 3.11 syntax where applicable.
