Windows users needed to run the installer through Git Bash and enable git long paths first, but that requirement was buried in a note in INSTALL.md and absent from the README entirely. Put the Windows invocation directly in the install code block in both places so it is visible at the point of use, and drop the now-redundant long-paths callout. 🤖 Generated with [Amplifier](https://github.com/microsoft/amplifier) Co-Authored-By: Amplifier <240397093+microsoft-amplifier@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Windows users have to run the installer through Git Bash and enable git long paths first. That requirement was buried in a note in
docs/INSTALL.mdand missing from the README entirely.This puts the Windows invocation directly in the install code block in both places, so it is visible at the point of use, and removes the now-redundant long-paths callout.
Changes
README.md— install block now labels the Linux/macOS command and adds the Windows Git Bash variant pluscore.longpathssetup.docs/INSTALL.md— same install block; drops the separate Windows long-paths blockquote and the redundant "Recommended" heading.Docs only, no code or behavior changes.
