README statement about Python version in base environment is inaccurate

[millsks]

Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.

• I checked the documentation.

Issue

README states "Latest installers with Python 3.12 (*) in the base environment", but still using Python 3.10. The base version of Python is updated in v24.5.0-0, but it is still listed as a pre-release. I realize this is on hold until #614 is resolved, but should the README be updated to state that the base environment is still being shipped with Python 3.10? Or are we expecting #614 to be resolved sooner rather than later?

miniforge/Miniforge3/construct.yaml

Lines 28 to 32 in 09dd7a6

	{% if name.endswith("pypy3") %}
	- python 3.9.* *_pypy
	{% else %}
	- python 3.10.*
	{% endif %}

Opened up a small PR with the update to the README, but if it is not needed go ahead and close it.

He release is currently blocked. Sorry. We are trying to fix it and hopefully release 3.12 build soon
