Windows build section modified from 5 sparse bullets β†’ a full, actionable guide:

  • Explains why Git Bash is needed (POSIX utilities)
  • Exact winget install commands for every tool (Git, jq, 7-Zip, Python 3.11, Rustup)
  • Node.js section explains nvm-windows for version management + the "Automatically install native tools" checkbox tip
  • WiX Toolset is now correctly marked as optional (only for -p installer packaging)
  • New PATH verification block β€” a quick checklist to run in Git Bash to confirm everything is set up
  • The Build section now clearly labels Git Bash as recommended over PowerShell, with a note for WSL2 users
