Summary

  • Add bash and gcc (for CGO) as explicit requirements in the development reference guide
  • Add a Windows section documenting WSL as the recommended approach and MSYS2/MinGW64 as an alternative
  • Document known limitations: CRLF line ending issues, path separator test failures, and go:generate shell script requirements

Fixes #6635

Test plan

  • Verify the docs page renders correctly on the OPA documentation site
  • Confirm the MSYS2 package names are accurate for current MinGW64 repos
