- WSL: use Obsidian.com (Electron console stub) instead of Obsidian.exe, which silently drops stdout/stderr on WSL due to GUI subsystem mismatch - Headless Linux: set DISPLAY to Xvfb display before running commands, otherwise CLI fails with 'unable to find Obsidian' Closes kepano#93, closes kepano#62

Summary
Adds a Platform setup section to the obsidian-cli skill covering two environment-specific pitfalls that currently have no guidance in the skill.
Closes #93
Closes #62
Changes
WSL / Windows (#93)
Obsidian.exeis a GUI-subsystem binary. When invoked from WSL it returns exit code 0 but silently drops all stdout/stderr. The fix is to useObsidian.com, the Electron console stub that ships alongside.exeand pipes streams correctly.Headless Linux (#62)
On Linux without a display (servers, Docker, CI), the CLI fails unless DISPLAY is set to match the Xvfb display where Obsidian is running.
Both issue reporters explicitly offered to submit a PR but never did.
