Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the SSH public key authentication section, where the only example of a private key path uses a Windows-style path (D:\privatekey_openssh), and the guidance for converting PPK files references only the PuTTY tool, which is primarily a Windows utility. There are no Linux or macOS path examples, nor are Linux-native tools (like ssh-keygen or puttygen on Linux) mentioned. No Linux file path examples are provided, and the documentation does not clarify cross-platform considerations for file paths or key formats.
Recommendations:
  • Provide examples using Linux/macOS-style file paths (e.g., /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa) alongside Windows paths in the SSH public key authentication section.
  • Mention Linux-native tools for key conversion (e.g., ssh-keygen, puttygen on Linux) in addition to PuTTY, and provide relevant instructions or links.
  • Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux file path formats are supported, and clarify any platform-specific considerations.
  • Ensure that all code and configuration examples are platform-neutral or provide parallel examples for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Add a note or section addressing cross-platform compatibility, especially for self-hosted integration runtime scenarios.
