How to set up development environment documentation?

Set up environment documentation in NoteVault with step-by-step setup instructions, required tools with versions, common troubleshooting, and verification steps. Link documentation to your project so it stays visible. Create a "verify setup" task for new developers to update docs when they find gaps. Keep docs versioned with revision history.
