Walkthrough

Adds user-facing logging to the PowerShell installer for when environment variables are set or removed, and updates CHANGELOG.md formatting and a new feature entry documenting that output.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Changelog CHANGELOG.md	Rewrote several entries for formatting (bolded headings/bullets) and added a new feature entry: "install: Add output for the setting and removal of environment variables".
PowerShell install script lib/install.ps1	Inserted informational output lines in env_set and env_rm functions to print colored messages before calling Set-EnvVar / Remove-Item (no functional change to env persistence).

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Mostly small, consistent additions of logging in two functions and textual edits to a single changelog file.
• Review focus:
  • lib/install.ps1 — confirm logging formatting, localization, and no side effects before env operations.
  • CHANGELOG.md — verify entry accuracy and formatting consistency.

Poem

🐰
I hopped through scripts with nimble paws,
I sang when vars were set because—
A gentle message now will chime,
When paths are added, or removed in time,
Hooray, the shell speaks back in rhyme! 🎉
