Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform parity, but there are subtle biases towards Windows. Windows-specific instructions and file extensions (e.g., handler.exe) are mentioned before Linux equivalents in several places. Windows environment variable setting syntax is shown after Linux/macOS, but the distinction is made explicit. There are references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., .exe files, Windows command syntax), and the documentation sometimes refers to Windows patterns first (e.g., 'handler.exe' before 'handler'). However, Linux and macOS instructions are present and correct, and the main workflow is cross-platform.
Recommendations:
  • When referencing executable names, mention the Linux version ('handler') before the Windows version ('handler.exe'), or present both together (e.g., 'handler (handler.exe on Windows)').
  • In configuration file examples, use cross-platform language, such as 'handler' for Linux/macOS and 'handler.exe' for Windows, or provide both options explicitly.
  • Where environment variable setting is required, present Linux/macOS and Windows commands side by side, or use tabs for clarity.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology or tools as the default; instead, use neutral or Linux-first language where possible.
  • Ensure all screenshots and code snippets are available for both Linux and Windows environments, or use generic screenshots that do not show OS-specific details.
  • Consider adding a summary table or section at the start that clearly states the parity and any OS-specific steps.
