Research direction

Start by reproducing the documented setup in Windows 10 with WSL 2, focusing on the make install step and the chainlink -h entry point. Inspect the installation output and shell PATH to determine why the command is unavailable. Done means the documented setup completes and chainlink -h runs successfully in the bash terminal.
