Description

Added a brief "Environment Setup" section to the README.

Previously, there were no instructions for new users on how to configure the .env file from the provided .env.example, which is required for setting up API and wallet credentials. Also fixed a minor markdown link formatting issue in the usage section.

This should help improve the onboarding experience for new developers exploring the client.


Note

Low Risk
Low risk: documentation/example-only updates with no production code changes. The main risk is minor confusion if the default chain ID comment (Mumbai vs 80002/Amoy) is inaccurate.

Overview
Adds an Environment Setup section to README.md describing how to copy .env.example to .env and which credentials (PK, CLOB_API_KEY/CLOB_SECRET/CLOB_PASS_PHRASE) must be set before running examples.

Improves onboarding polish by fixing a minor docs link in the usage snippet and adding clarifying comments in examples/orders/cancel_orders.py around env var usage, default CHAIN_ID, and replacing the placeholder order ID(s).
