Description
## A Most Humble Petition for Windows Compatibility
Greetings, esteemed maintainers and contributors to this most illustrious repository!
It is with great ceremonial flourish that I bring forth this matter of considerable import: the extension of our benevolent documentation and tooling to encompass the Windows operating system, that venerable platform upon which countless developers toil in their quotidian labors.
### The Particulars of This Endeavor
**I. Documentation Enhancements**
Our current documentation, whilst exemplary in its coverage of Unix-like environments, doth leave our Windows-dwelling brethren somewhat bereft. We ought to furnish:
- Windows-specific command invocations (PowerShell and CMD variants)
- Path conventions befitting the Windows filesystem
- Environment variable configurations in the Windows vernacular
- Any platform-specific caveats or incantations required for harmonious operation
**II. CLI Binary Distribution**
The CLI package, in its present incarnation, provides prebuilt binaries for:
- Darwin (arm64, x64)
- Linux (x64, arm64)
We must extend this generous offering to include:
- Windows x64
- Windows arm64 (should circumstances warrant)
### The Genesis of This Request
This petition comes not from mere whimsy, but from the sagacious recommendation of **Michael Kasabov** (@MKassabov), a distinguished member of our community whose wisdom in such matters is beyond reproach. His counsel that we attend to the Windows constituency is most sound, and we would be remiss to ignore such perspicacious guidance.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inventorying the existing Unix-specific documentation and the CLI's Darwin and Linux binary distribution paths; the issue names no files or tests. Done means documented PowerShell, CMD, Windows paths, environment variables, and caveats, plus a defined Windows x64 distribution and a decision on Windows arm64 support.
