What

A fallback that builds the default list of available tools used to always include a PowerShell-related tool. Now it only adds that tool when Claude Code detects it is running on Windows.

Why

PowerShell isn't relevant on non-Windows systems, so this keeps the default tool list from offering a tool that wouldn't apply there.
