I changed out my '02s cabin air filter and then just got to "looking around". I found the washer hose hanging free. Do I need to remove all those covers, wipers etc. as I saw on a related video or is a triple jointed wrist enough to do the replacement?

There is a chance the the loose hanging hose is the original battery vent hose... It looks very much same like the window washer hose. Check that first.
If it is the actual window washer hose, at least on mine 2001 986 the window washer hoses are pretty much visible as the battery cover and cabin filter plastic covers are removed.

Are you sure that’s what it is? Does the washer on that side of the car work? Thinking about it, if one of the washer hoses is off the nozzle, likely neither of them work. If that is what it is, my recollection - from replacing nozzles a year or so back - is that connecting the hose to the nozzle is best done after you’ve popped it up and out.

It was the vent tube. Instinct told me that but it wasn't warm enough for me to want to look last night. If it ever is the washer I'll have some knowledge fo rthe future. Thank you both!
