No response
Additional context

Research direction
Start by locating the developer guide section covering builds or development workflows, then read CPython's Tools/jit/README.md, which the issue identifies as the main JIT building documentation. Add a discoverable JIT-build section that links to the detailed guide, and verify that the new section fits the guide's existing structure and conventions.
