Add control flow, I/O redirection, functions, coreutils, history/completion

- I/O redirection: >, >>, <, 2>, 2>&1, &>
- Job control: background & operator
- if/elif/else/fi, for/do/done, while/until loops
- Shell functions with local/declare, positional param save/restore
- Exit code propagation via exitCodeErr sentinel
- Arithmetic expansion $((expr)) with bare variable names
- Command substitution $(cmd) with pipeline support
- Glob expansion, tilde expansion, ${VAR:-default} and other forms
- Tab completion and command history via chzyer/readline
- Inline comment stripping (# outside quotes)
- Builtins: test/[, read, printf, tr, sed, cut, tail, tee, xargs,
  basename, dirname, date, sleep, uniq, sort, wc, head, grep, find,
  true, false, break, continue, return, shift, set, unset, export,
  declare/local, source, alias, jobs, command, which, env
- Bug fixes: tokenizer parenDepth double-count for $((,
  splitPipe not paren-aware (broke pipelines in $()),
  local/declare TrimLeft stripping valid var name chars,
  parseBlocks missing nested keywords after do/then/else

 # bash-for-windows
 
-Fully functional bash for windows
+A fully functional bash shell for Windows, written in Go. Run bash commands and scripts natively on Windows without WSL, Cygwin, or MSYS2.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Interactive shell** with prompt (`bash$`)
+- **Built-in commands**: cd, pwd, echo, exit, export, source, alias, type
+- **Built-in coreutils**: ls, cat, grep, sort, wc, head, find, cp, mv, rm, mkdir, touch, clear
+- **Command chaining**: `&&`, `||`, `;`
+- **Pipes**: `|` between commands
+- **Variable expansion**: `$NAME`, `${NAME}`
+- **Variable assignment**: `NAME=VALUE command`
+- **Single & double quotes**: `'literal'`, `"$variable"`
+- **Script execution**: `bash-windows script.sh` or `-c 'commands'`
+- **No dependencies** — single `.exe` file, runs on any Windows x86-64
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+bash-windows            # Interactive mode
+bash-windows -c 'echo hello'
+bash-windows script.sh
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```
+bash$ echo "Hello from bash-for-windows!"
+bash$ ls -la
+bash$ cd /tmp && pwd
+bash$ cat file.txt | grep pattern | wc -l
+bash$ name="Luffy" && echo $name
+bash$ mkdir -p project/src && touch project/src/main.go
+```
+
+## Building
+
+Requires Go 1.21+.
+
+```bash
+# Linux
+./build.sh
+
+# Manual
+go build -o build/bash-windows .
+
+# Windows cross-compile
+GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o build/bash-windows.exe .
