A bug was found (see GitHub Issue srbhr#153), where when a user attempting to run the `npm run dev` or `npm run fastapi-dev` commands from within a (Windows) WSL Ubunutu Shell window, encounters the following error, which prevents the backend FastAPI server from running: `sh: 1: source: not found` Given it appears that `source` is a command built-in and runnable on Bash and ZSH terminal environments, it is not available to use within the WSL Ubuntu shell by default. To fix this, a more universal substitute can be used in place of `source`, which is the period `.`, which performs the same function in Bash, ZSH, and WSL Ubunutu terminal / shell environments. This commit also includes minor `webapp/README.md` updates to reformat lists to numbered lists for both the `Setup` and `Debugging` sections for improved clarity.
