Summary

The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell, with all examples and terminology referencing PowerShell commands, workflows, and concepts. There is no mention of Linux, Bash, or cross-platform scripting, and the SDK and its usage are described exclusively in the context of PowerShell and Windows-centric workflows.

Recommendations

Explicitly state whether the SDK and graphical runbooks support Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers or cross-platform execution.
Provide examples or guidance for authoring graphical runbooks that invoke Bash scripts or Linux commands, if supported.
Clarify whether the .dll and SDK can be used on non-Windows platforms (e.g., via .NET Core/5/6+ on Linux/macOS), and provide instructions for those environments if possible.
If Linux is not supported, clearly state this limitation at the top of the documentation.
Include a table or section comparing Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Bash support for graphical runbooks, so users understand platform compatibility.
