Subject: [PATCH] build: drop dead `tomli` fallback (closes #330)

`requires-python = ">=3.12"` makes the `try: import tomllib / except ImportError: import tomli` fallback unreachable; stdlib tomllib ships in 3.11+. Drop the try/except and the matching DEP003 deptry ignore.

Resigned, signed-commit version: prior PRs #332 and #337 had identical diffs but were unsigned after the auto-rebase workflow rewrote them as github-actions[bot]; ruleset requires signatures, so neither was mergeable. Closing both as superseded.
