Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides platform-specific instructions for setting environment variables, listing Windows first, followed by Linux and macOS. All other code examples are Python and cross-platform, and there are no PowerShell-specific or Windows-only tools used. However, the ordering of Windows instructions before Linux and macOS may subtly suggest a Windows-first perspective.
Recommendations
  • Rotate the order of platform-specific instructions so that Linux or macOS is sometimes listed first, or use a neutral order (e.g., alphabetical: Linux, macOS, Windows).
  • Consider using tabbed or collapsible sections for platform-specific instructions, with no default selected or with the most common developer platform (often Linux for Python) first.
  • Explicitly state that all Python code examples are cross-platform and work equally on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Where possible, provide parity in notes and troubleshooting tips for all platforms (e.g., mention restarting the terminal/editor for all OSes, not just Windows/Visual Studio).

  > [!NOTE]
  > If you only need to access the environment variable in the current running console, set the environment variable with `set` instead of `setx`.

  After you add the environment variables, you might need to restart any running programs that need to read the environment variable, including the console window. For example, if you're using Visual Studio as your editor, restart Visual Studio before running the example.
