Bias Analysis
Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation only provides examples using Windows Server VM images (including both the failing and fixed cases), without any mention or examples of Linux-based images. This presents a Windows-first bias and omits Linux parity in usage examples.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using popular Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) to demonstrate the rule's applicability across platforms.
- Explicitly mention that the rule applies to both Windows and Linux VM images.
- Where possible, alternate the order of examples or provide both Windows and Linux examples side-by-side to avoid platform bias.
