Cool. I'll be in touch off-list, but since you ask these questions here ...

Some. It's still fairly reliable as it goes.

I don't know what that is.

Jython 3 is hiding in plain sight on the main (not master) branch of the 
official repo: https://github.com/jython/jython/tree/main . When it 
works, we'll make "main" the default. At present, it consists of a core 
interpreter and the unit tests that show the approach taken will 
probably work. A lot of the code in there is dead Jython 2 code, 
preserved because I imagine Jython 3 building on it, and I think those 
who created it deserve to be in the Git history. It's not working out 
like that so far because the core interpreter is so different.

It wakes, hunts for a bit, then sleeps again. It's mostly just me 
animating it. Paid work, Jython 2 and other study take turns with Jython 3.
