Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias: file path examples consistently show Windows paths (e.g., c:\temp) before Linux equivalents (e.g., /tmp), and in some cases, only the Windows path is shown in code snippets. In configuration examples, the sample_file_path is set to a Windows path by default. There are no PowerShell-specific commands or Windows-only tools, but the ordering and emphasis of examples favor Windows. Linux-specific troubleshooting is only briefly mentioned in the Docker/Ubuntu section, and Linux file path conventions are not given equal prominence throughout.
Recommendations:
  • Present Linux and Windows file path examples side-by-side or alternate their order to avoid always listing Windows first.
  • In code snippets, use placeholder paths (e.g., <path-to-temp-dir>) and provide both Windows and Linux examples in comments.
  • Ensure that all instructions and examples are equally applicable to both Linux and Windows environments.
  • Add explicit Linux shell command examples where relevant (e.g., for file creation, permissions, or service management).
  • Highlight any OS-specific considerations (such as file permissions or service management) in dedicated callout sections.
  • Review all code and configuration blocks to ensure Linux parity and avoid defaulting to Windows-centric paths or conventions.
