Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the 'Build and run the app locally' section. Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions for setting environment variables are presented before the Linux/macOS equivalent. Additionally, PowerShell is mentioned explicitly, and screenshots reference Command Prompt or PowerShell windows. However, Linux/macOS instructions are present and not omitted.
Recommendations:
  • Present environment variable instructions for all platforms in parallel, or start with a neutral (cross-platform) option such as bash, then provide Windows-specific alternatives.
  • Avoid referencing only Command Prompt or PowerShell windows in screenshots and instructions; mention terminal or shell generically, or provide Linux/macOS screenshots as well.
  • Ensure that all CLI commands and tooling are described in a platform-neutral way, and avoid implying Windows is the default or primary development environment.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools and terminology first, and mention platform-specific tools as alternatives.
