Description

### User Story: Add Windows Support to Amazon Q CLI
## Title: Enable Amazon Q CLI to run natively on Windows machines

As a Windows-based developer,
I want the Amazon Q CLI to be fully compatible with Windows OS,
So that I can use its features without needing a Linux subsystem or container workaround.

✅ Acceptance Criteria
Installation Support

CLI can be installed via .msi installer or winget.
Clear documentation for Windows installation.
Command Compatibility

All core commands (q init, q ask, q deploy, etc.) work as expected on Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell.
Environment Variables

CLI correctly reads and sets environment variables in Windows.
File Path Handling

CLI handles Windows-style paths (C:\Users\...) without errors.
Proxy and Network Configuration

CLI respects Windows proxy settings and can connect through corporate firewalls.
Testing

Automated tests run on Windows CI environments (e.g., GitHub Actions with Windows runners).
🛠 Technical Notes
Use cross-platform libraries (e.g., os, pathlib in Python or path in Node.js).
Consider packaging with pkg or nexe for native Windows binaries.
Validate compatibility with Windows 10 and 11.
