Whose fault: prerequisite · diagnosed
sidecarwatch refuses to run on native Windows (os.name != posix guard); README says macOS and Linux only.
Recorded blocker / warning
Step: python -B -m sidecarwatch demo
sidecarwatch refuses to run on native Windows (os.name != posix guard); README says macOS and Linux only.
Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.
No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.
OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.
A short run cannot establish that code is safe.
Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.
Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.
windows behavior observation needs an OS-native file/network/process collector; only the static scan ran.
No Linux syscall trace was collected.
Answers recorded for this run
- sidecarwatch runs only on macOS and Linux; native Windows is refused: Real input produced the expected result: macOS and Linux only
Source: macOS and Linux only; WSL is untested.
Input: python -B -m sidecarwatch demo on this Windows guest
Expected: exit 2 with the unsupported-platform message
Command: 'C:\coldpass\python\python.exe' -B -m sidecarwatch demo
Observed: macOS and Linux only. WSL is untested.
- demo is offline and needs no agent CLI: The demo runs only on macOS or Linux; this guest is native Windows, where the product refuses to start (os.name check in sidecarwatch), so the offline demo output could not be observed.
Source: `demo` is offline and `watch --dry-run` previews a scrubbed digest locally without calling either reviewer.
Observed: The demo runs only on macOS or Linux; this guest is native Windows, where the product refuses to start (os.name check in sidecarwatch), so the offline demo output could not be observed.
Examples
- Windows is refused with exit 2 (documented Windows check): Ran python -B -m sidecarwatch demo with the absolute guest Python: exit 2, "Native Windows is unsupported; macOS and Linux only." This is covered by probe.json and the replayed claim. The checker cannot accept it as a documented example because the README has no exit-code table row for demo; the README text itself says "Expected: exit 2".
Source: README.md#windows
Expected: documented command completes successfully
Observed: Ran python -B -m sidecarwatch demo with the absolute guest Python: exit 2, "Native Windows is unsupported; macOS and Linux only." This is covered by probe.json and the replayed claim. The checker cannot accept it as a documented example because the README has no exit-code table row for demo; the README text itself says "Expected: exit 2".
- Repository offline test suite (python3 -B -m unittest discover -s tests -t . -q): Ran with the absolute guest Python: 136 tests, 4 failures, 401 errors, exit 1. Every failing area traces to the native-Windows refusal (os.name != posix), so the suite cannot pass on this platform. Not counted as product success.
Source: README.md#windows
Expected: documented command completes successfully
Observed: Ran with the absolute guest Python: 136 tests, 4 failures, 401 errors, exit 1. Every failing area traces to the native-Windows refusal (os.name != posix), so the suite cannot pass on this platform. Not counted as product success.
Cycles
- watch repeats its review pass after a wait (recurring trigger): Observed: the command exits 2 with the unsupported-platform message (os.name != posix guard). No cycle ran; the product needs macOS or Linux.
Source: sidecarwatch/watch.py
Input: python -B -m sidecarwatch watch --only C:\coldpass\workspace --dry-run (attempted one run-once cycle)
Expected: one cycle reviews a finished turn and prints results
Observed: Observed: the command exits 2 with the unsupported-platform message (os.name != posix guard). No cycle ran; the product needs macOS or Linux.
Local or hosted: local
Suggested next step (unverified): Run the offline demo on a macOS or Linux VM (python3 -m sidecarwatch demo, Python 3.11+). Native Windows support would need POSIX-only locking, file modes and state replaced, which the README rules out.
