Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation generally provides cross-platform instructions, but there is a subtle Windows bias in the ordering and presentation of environment variable setup commands. Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, and PowerShell is given a dedicated example. The initial Node.js installation link also references Windows and WSL before other platforms. However, Linux and macOS commands are present and correct, and the main code samples are platform-agnostic.
Recommendations:
  • Present environment variable setup instructions in a neutral or rotating order (e.g., Linux/macOS first in some sections, or all platforms in a single table).
  • Avoid always listing Windows and PowerShell before Linux/macOS; consider grouping all OS instructions together for parity.
  • In the prerequisites, provide installation links and guidance for Node.js on all major platforms equally, not just Windows and WSL.
  • If possible, use a tabbed or side-by-side format for OS-specific commands to visually reinforce parity.
  • Review other sections for subtle language that centers Windows as the default or primary platform.
