Local development requirements

• Node.js + Yarn
• Python 3.9+ with pip install -r requirements.txt
• Rust toolchain (for hydra-native)

After installing dependencies, postinstall now builds the Rust native addon automatically (hydra-native/hydra-native.node).

Packaging scripts (yarn build:win, yarn build:mac, yarn build:linux, yarn build:unpack) now run yarn build:python-rpc automatically.
