You can see the full progress and its history by clicking on one of the versions in the table.
On Windows, it's highly recommended to use native tooling. WSL or msys2 are not required.
When running under WSL, objdiff is unable to get filesystem notifications for automatic rebuilds.

Note
This does not produce a WAD file, only the executable file, main.dol.
Warning
Due to the SEL file not being generated on build, the code is not 100% shiftable.
Most of it works aside from a couple of things, such as Wii Settings and a couple of Channel Banners like the Forecast Channel.
Once the initial build succeeds, an objdiff.json should exist in the project root.
Download the latest release from encounter/objdiff. Under project settings, set Project directory. The configuration should be loaded automatically.
Select an object from the left sidebar to begin diffing. Changes to the project will rebuild automatically: changes to source files, headers, configure.py, splits.txt or symbols.txt.
