Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell syntax, and all screenshots and sample outputs are from Windows environments (e.g., 'PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>'). Instructions for editing the hosts file, installing certificates, and using Docker are written specifically for Windows, with no equivalent Linux or macOS guidance. There is no mention of Linux shell commands, Linux file paths, or Linux-specific Docker installation steps. The use of Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows file paths) is pervasive, and Linux users are not provided with parallel instructions.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel Linux/macOS instructions and examples for all steps, including editing /etc/hosts, installing certificates, and using Docker.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) command examples alongside PowerShell, especially for Docker, kubectl, and HTTP API interactions.
  • Show sample outputs from Linux terminals (e.g., bash prompt) in addition to Windows PowerShell.
  • Document certificate installation steps for Linux (e.g., using update-ca-certificates or similar tools).
  • Reference Linux file paths (e.g., /etc/hosts) and explain any OS-specific differences.
  • Clarify that the process is cross-platform and explicitly support Linux/macOS users in the prerequisites and throughout the guide.
