Windows Notes

RexOS runs on Windows runners without requiring WSL.

Init scripts in harness workspaces

When the harness initializes a workspace, it creates:

• init.sh (Unix-like smoke checks)
• init.ps1 (Windows smoke checks)

On Windows, RexOS prefers init.ps1 to avoid accidentally invoking bash.exe (WSL launcher) when no WSL distro is installed.

Tool runtime differences

• shell tool uses PowerShell on Windows.
• shell tool uses bash on Unix.

If you want cross-platform commands, prefer simple patterns:

• PowerShell: (Get-Location).Path
• Unix: pwd

Paths

Tools are sandboxed to --workspace. Use relative paths inside tool calls (hello.txt, src/main.rs, etc.).
