Summary

  • Create scripts/win/win_run.sh — The script was referenced in the docs (setup.md, InstallGuide.js, and all 6 translations) but never existed, making it impossible for developers to run Rayforge from source on Windows via bash scripts/win/win_run.sh.
  • Clarify MINGW64 shell requirement — Added a tip in the InstallGuide.js Step 1 that MSYS2 provides multiple shells and only the MINGW64 shell works for Rayforge development. The other shells (MSYS2, UCRT64) will not work.

Addresses the documentation issues reported in issue #273 comments.

…ll requirement

The docs referenced scripts/win/win_run.sh but the script did not exist,
preventing developers from running Rayforge from source on Windows. Also,
MSYS2 provides multiple shells but only MINGW64 works for Rayforge — this
is now explicitly noted in the installation guide (Issue #273).
