Add local development environment setup instructions #149
Description
Provide a general description of the issue or problem.
Problem
Dev environment setup steps are not easy to discover from the repository root.
As a new contributor, I had to hunt across docs to find the right instructions.
Proposal
Add a short, repo-local development setup guide (conda + venv/pip), and link it
from README and the docs index.
Scope
Docs-only. No behavior changes.
What I plan to include
- conda setup (Python 3.12)
- venv/pip setup
- (optional) docs build command if supported
If this sounds good, I’ll open a PR referencing this issue.
