The Windows guard's platform argument defaults to linux and no caller overrides it, so it never throws.

What

New errors were added saying that lifecycle hooks and orchestrator mode need a Linux or macOS host, because hooks are POSIX executables spawned directly. In this build the check cannot trigger: both call sites pass only the feature name, and the platform argument defaults to linux, so the guard always returns without throwing.

Details
  • One message reads --hooks-dir is not supported on Windows.
  • Whether it ever fires depends on a caller passing a real platform value, which nothing in this build does.
Evidence

--hooks-dir is not supported on Windows

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
