Observed

README.md lines 8-9:

```
brew install uv jq ffmpeg mpv
brew install --cask docker
```

These don't work on the Windows host. Equivalent commands today:

```
winget install astral-sh.uv jqlang.jq Gyan.FFmpeg mpv.net
winget install Docker.DockerDesktop
```

Proposed fix

Split the README install section into a Mac block and a Windows block, both included verbatim. Or add a one-line pointer for Windows users below the brew block. Either is fine; the brew block stays as-is for the Mac default.

Out of scope

Linux install commands (apt/dnf etc) - not currently a target host.

Backlog burndown 2026-06-17: closing low-priority (P3/P4) to bring the open count to a manageable level. Nothing lost — reopen if this resurfaces. Batch tag: burndown-2026-06.
