Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_examples_prominence
Summary:
The documentation presents Windows (Store and Phone) notification examples before iOS and Android, and includes detailed notes about Windows-specific headers and formats. While Linux is not directly relevant to the PHP backend context, the ordering and emphasis on Windows platforms over others (such as iOS and Android) may reflect a subtle Windows bias. There are no PowerShell, Windows command-line, or Windows-only tool references, and all code is PHP (cross-platform).
Recommendations:
- Reorder the platform-specific notification examples to avoid always listing Windows first. Consider rotating the order or listing iOS and Android before Windows to reflect their prevalence.
- Ensure that notes and comments about platform-specific headers are balanced; for example, provide similar detail for iOS and Android as is given for Windows.
- If referencing platform-specific features or issues, provide parity across all major platforms (Windows, iOS, Android) in terms of depth and clarity.
- Explicitly mention that the PHP code is cross-platform and can be run on Linux, macOS, or Windows servers, to reinforce platform neutrality.
- If any platform-specific setup is required (e.g., cURL installation), provide instructions for both Linux and Windows environments.
