Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While it provides Linux, macOS, and Windows command examples for running the sample app, there are subtle indications of Windows-centric assumptions: the warning about path length ("Extract the sample file to a folder where the total length of the path is 260 or fewer characters") is a Windows-specific limitation, and the Windows example is listed last but uses the Windows-specific 'py' launcher. However, all platforms are represented in the run instructions, and there are no PowerShell-only commands or exclusive references to Windows tools.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that the 260-character path length limitation applies only to Windows, and that Linux/macOS users are not affected.
  • Consider listing Linux or macOS instructions first, or randomizing the order, to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows.
  • Provide a note explaining the difference between 'python' and 'py' launchers, and suggest using 'python' on all platforms if possible for consistency.
  • Ensure any screenshots or UI references are cross-platform or clarify when they are Windows-specific.
  • Continue to provide explicit, parallel instructions for all major platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows) in future updates.
