Overview

This PR adds a troubleshooting entry for Python versioning issues encountered during legacy bisection.

Reasoning

While attempting to bisect back to pre-April 2024 commits, I identified a recurring installation failure caused by a mismatch between modern Python environments (3.10+) and legacy dependency requirements (Python 3.8.15). Adding this note helps new contributors identify this environmental blocker quickly and provides the standard pyenv workaround to maintain environment parity during debugging.

Hi @Meeth-webdev, I've opened this small documentation PR to address the Python 3.8 installation blockers we encountered during bisection. Since this repo doesn't have a formal reviewer assigned, could you help me point this toward the right person? I'd love to get this merged to help future contributors. Thanks!
