Summary
The documentation page is generally cross-platform, but there are some areas of Windows bias. The 'managedDependency' feature is described as PowerShell-only, which is a Windows-centric technology. There are several references to Windows environment variables (e.g., %TEMP%) and folders (LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA, TEMP) as defaults, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents. In the snapshotConfiguration section, the default temp folder is given as *%TEMP%\Dumps*, which is a Windows path format. These references may create friction for Linux/macOS users who need to map these settings to their own environments. Additionally, Windows-centric terminology and examples (such as the use of backslashes in paths) appear before any Linux alternatives, and Linux/macOS equivalents are not explicitly documented.
Recommendations
  • For all environment variable references (e.g., %TEMP%, LOCALAPPDATA, APPDATA), add Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., $TMPDIR, /tmp) and clarify how the runtime resolves these on non-Windows systems.
  • When showing default folder paths, provide both Windows and Linux/macOS formats (e.g., %TEMP%\Dumps and /tmp/Dumps).
  • For features described as PowerShell-only, clarify if there are equivalent features for other languages/runtimes, or explicitly state that Linux/macOS users cannot use them.
  • Add explicit notes or examples for Linux/macOS users where Windows-centric terminology or tools are mentioned.
  • Consider listing cross-platform or Linux/macOS examples before or alongside Windows examples to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
