Windows guard for self-hosted runner hooks is present but never fires

Not switched on
Useful1 Signal2
Self-Hosted Runner

Runner hook errors saying hooks need Linux or macOS exist but can never trigger.

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.
