Description
Please describe your changes here. If this fixes a bug, please link to the issue, if possible.
Summary
This adds a short Windows PowerShell quickstart for Rich and a one-liner for running tests locally. It also notes that installing attrs may be required for a clean pytest -q run on a fresh env.
Why
New contributors on Windows may not know the PowerShell venv activation command, and first test runs can fail with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'attr'.
What changed
README: Quick Demo (Windows PowerShell) snippet
README: Run Tests (dev setup) snippet: pip install pytest attrs → pytest -q
Tested
Windows 11 + Python 3.13
Demo renders table and progress bar
Tests: 883 passed, 23 skipped on my machine
Notes
Happy to adjust placement/wording or move this into CONTRIBUTING if preferred.
