Odin is a Windows-first developer environment management CLI. It snapshots the tools,
package managers, shell profiles, Git settings, VS Code extensions, terminal settings,
environment variables, and PATH state needed to recreate a workstation - then restores,
diffs, syncs to a private GitHub repo, and reports diagnostics. Includes process/port
management (ports, ps, kill) and a time-machine history (history, rollback).
