Now the carpet has worn, particularly at the edge of each tread, and
one reason for this is that these are cut square, unlike the curved
'nose' that is normal in carpeted stairs. So I have a number of
options, including taking the carpet off and leaving them bare (and
noisy) or, preferred by SWMBO, replacing the carpet. There seems
little point in replacing the carpet on a square edge, as it'll only
wear again, but how can I put a bit of a curve there?
I could run a router across but this won't make it to each end as the
string (and the wall on one side) will mean this stops before the ends
(taking the treads out would pretty much involve demolishing the
house, so no mileage there).

Fix a bull nose moulding to the front of each tread? That's how it was
done here many many years ago.
