…ndAI#101) WSL2 default memory limits can cause uv sync to fail with a memory allocation error when building packages like transformers or pillow. Add a FAQ entry documenting two workarounds: increasing the WSL2 memory cap via .wslconfig, and limiting parallel builds with UV_CONCURRENT_BUILDS.

LGTM! Clear and helpful FAQ entry for WSL users hitting OOM during uv sync.
One minor suggestion (non-blocking): the memory=8GB recommendation might be tight when compiling heavy packages like transformers alongside an IDE. Consider bumping to 16GB or adding a note to adjust based on available host RAM.

Fixes #101
Problem
On WSL2, running
uv syncinapps/miroflow-agentcan fail with a memory allocation error. WSL2 imposes a default memory cap (often 2–4 GB depending on host RAM) that is insufficient when building heavy packages liketransformersorpillowin parallel.Solution
Add a dedicated FAQ entry in the troubleshooting guide covering two workarounds:
%UserProfile%\.wslconfig(recommended, persistent)UV_CONCURRENT_BUILDS=1 uv sync(no restart required)Testing
Verified that the new FAQ entry renders correctly in Markdown and the commands are accurate per the UV and WSL2 documentation.
