Goal: The docs are Windows-centric. Bring every user-facing and internals page up to the same standard on macOS and Linux as Windows — without regressing the Windows content.
Collaboration: two authors in parallel — asaf (macOS owner) and the Linux agent (Linux owner) — plus shared cross-cutting work. Claim an item by checking the box + leaving a comment so we don't double-edit a page. One owner per page; if a page needs a platform you can't verify, write the structure + a TODO(linux)/TODO(macos) cell and the other agent fills it in a follow-up.
Full living spec: specs/PLAN_CROSS_PLATFORM_DOCS_2026_05_30.md (in this repo).
Gold-standard pages to copy the pattern from (do NOT rewrite)
Accuracy caveat — verify against current agentmuxai/agentmux source
Several macOS/Linux behaviors changed recently; old "Windows-only" framing is partly stale:
macOS floating-pane tear-off / redock / drag slide-back now work (#1182/#1185/#1186/#1194).
The launcher now drives srv + host on macOS/Linux task dev (#1193) — updates the "launcher is Windows-only / Unix invokes host directly" claims.
Window transparency still Windows-only; WRR still Windows-only (those pages are correct).
Writing patterns to standardize (proposed → see Workstream 0)
Per-OS command blocks, consistent order macOS · Windows · Linux.
Feature-availability via :::note[…-only today] with the per-OS roadmap stated inline + link to /internals/platform-support/. Never leave a platform unmentioned — "not yet" is information.
Paths: lead with ~/.agentmux/…, then give literal per-OS resolution (macOS ~/Library/Application Support/…, Windows %APPDATA%/%LOCALAPPDATA%, Linux ~/.agentmux/$XDG_*).
[Linux]lan-discovery.md — Linux section (ufw/firewalld rules, SELinux)
[either]internals/reducer-stack.md + internals/architecture.md — replace "named pipe / Win32 hooks" with the 3-way concept binding + an IPC-mechanism table; re-verify vs the now-cross-platform launcher
MODERATE
[macOS]multi-instance.md — explain Job Object → macOS/Linux process-group equivalent; re-check the "tear a tab into a new instance — Windows only" claim (may now be partly available on macOS)
[Linux]multi-instance.md — Linux process-isolation cell
[macOS]installation.md — confirm .dmg/notarization wording is current; add Windows uninstall/upgrade + MSIX-vs-portable note
[Linux]installation.md — confirm AppImage/.deb wording is current (glibc/FUSE)
[either]internals/modal-system.md — cross-platform modal stacking over native panes
[either]pane-types.md — expand taskbar-flash / dock-bounce / urgency-hint attention per OS
LIGHT
[either]settings.md — Windows default shell (pwsh.exe/Git Bash) vs Unix /bin/bash for term:localshellpath
[either]config.md — add a Windows shell-path example

Land Workstream 0 first so both authors build on the agreed conventions.
