@HarshCasper made a point offline, perhaps this belongs in the hot reloading doc instead. |

This PR adds a clarification to the Rancher Desktop documentation for Windows users running LocalStack via WSL2.
Specifically, it documents that when using hot reloading for Lambda functions, paths to Lambda handlers must be specified using WSL2-compatible paths
/mnt/c/rather than Windows-style pathsC:\Without this, volume mounting of the lambda code into the lambda container would fail with a unintelligible error.
Changes:
Added a note under the Windows section of the Rancher Desktop guide.
Included a code snippet showing the correct WSL2 path format.
Motivation:
Hot reloading is a key developer feature in LocalStack, and ensuring it works reliably in WSL2-based workflows improves developer experience and reduces setup friction.
