Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In the prerequisites, Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (wget) are both mentioned, but Windows/PowerShell is listed second. However, in the hosts file editing section, the Windows path is listed before the Linux path, and the instructions for testing endpoints reference Windows-specific tools and locations first. There is also an assumption of familiarity with Windows tools and patterns (such as 'Invoke-WebRequest' and the Windows hosts file path), and PowerShell is mentioned as the Windows method for HTTP requests, with no mention of curl, which is available on both platforms.
Recommendations:
- When listing tools or commands, present cross-platform options side-by-side (e.g., 'Use wget or curl on Linux/macOS, or Invoke-WebRequest or curl on Windows').
- Alternate the order in which Windows and Linux instructions are presented, or provide both together where possible.
- In hosts file editing instructions, mention both Windows and Linux paths together, or start with Linux to balance representation.
- Include curl as a cross-platform HTTP request tool, since it is available on both Windows and Linux.
- Where possible, provide explicit Linux/macOS shell command examples alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Avoid assuming the user is more familiar with Windows tools or patterns.
