ensure cross-platform compatibility

When creating configuration files and build tasks, prioritize cross-platform compatibility by avoiding shell-specific syntax and considering how tools discover their configuration files across different environments.

Key considerations:

• Avoid shell-specific commands that may not work on Windows (e.g., complex piping with xargs)
• Consider how tools locate configuration files - some tools search parent directories automatically while others require explicit paths
• Test configuration discovery from different working directories, not just the project root
• Document platform limitations when unavoidable

Example from mise configuration:

[tasks."check:codespell"]
description = "Check code for common misspellings"
tools.uv = ""
# Good: Uses tool that auto-discovers config, works cross-platform
run = "uv run codespell"

# Avoid: Shell-specific syntax that breaks on Windows
# run = "jj file list | xargs mise run codespell"

This approach ensures your development environment works consistently for all team members regardless of their operating system, reducing setup friction and debugging time spent on platform-specific issues.
