Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux command line examples for task execution, but Windows examples are consistently shown first. Additionally, Windows-specific tools such as 'robocopy', 'MSI', and 'setup.exe' are mentioned as examples for start tasks, with no equivalent Linux tools (e.g., 'cp', 'tar', 'deb', 'rpm', or shell scripts) referenced. This creates a subtle bias toward Windows usage patterns and may leave Linux users without clear guidance for analogous workflows.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and patterns mentioned (e.g., suggest 'cp' or 'rsync' instead of 'robocopy', mention '.deb' or '.rpm' packages alongside 'MSI' and 'setup.exe').
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for start tasks and other scenarios where only Windows tools are referenced.
  • Clarify that all features and workflows are supported on both Windows and Linux compute nodes, and provide links to OS-specific guidance where appropriate.
