Closes #5786.

The defect

The "New contributor" step named one command for the desktop shell:

Use pnpm dev for web-only UI work, pnpm --filter openhuman-app dev:app for the desktop shell …

dev:app is bash ../scripts/run-dev-macos.sh. It is not merely named for macOS — it exports APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY:

# scripts/run-dev-macos.sh
export OPENHUMAN_DEV_PORT="$dev_port"
export APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY="${APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY:-OpenHuman Dev Signer}"

So a Windows contributor following the README runs the macOS entrypoint. The Windows script already exists beside it:

"dev:app":     "bash ../scripts/run-dev-macos.sh",
"dev:app:win": "\"C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe\" ../scripts/run-dev-win.sh"

run-dev-win.sh is 700+ lines of Windows PATH / LLVM / LIBCLANG_PATH setup — not something the macOS script degrades into.

The change

Both commands are now named for the platform they are, in all six READMEs:

pnpm --filter openhuman-app dev:app (macOS) or pnpm --filter openhuman-app dev:app:win (Windows)

The --filter form is kept for the Windows one so it matches the surrounding style and works from the repo root like its neighbour.

One deliberate omission

I claim macOS and Windows only, not "macOS/Linux". There are exactly two scripts — run-dev-macos.sh and run-dev-win.sh — and the macOS one signs with an Apple identity, so folding Linux into it would be asserting a path that does not exist. If there is a Linux desktop-dev story I have missed, tell me and I will name it too.

Surrounding prose and every translation are otherwise untouched; the platform names are the same token in all six languages.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated contribution instructions with the Windows-specific desktop development command.
    • Clarified separate macOS and Windows desktop development commands across English, German, Japanese, Korean, Urdu, and Simplified Chinese guides.
    • Improved localized wording for platform-specific setup instructions, making development guidance clearer and more consistent across supported languages.

The READMEs named `pnpm --filter openhuman-app dev:app` as *the* desktop shell
command. That script is `bash ../scripts/run-dev-macos.sh` — it exports
APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY, so it is macOS and nothing else. A Windows contributor
following the README runs the macOS entrypoint.

`dev:app:win` already exists next to it and runs `scripts/run-dev-win.sh`, a
700-line Windows path/LLVM setup. Both are now named for the platform they are.

Only macOS and Windows are claimed, because those are the only two scripts that
exist; nothing here asserts a Linux path that is not there.

Closes tinyhumansai#5786

The contribution guides now document dev:app for macOS and dev:app:win for Windows across the English, German, Japanese, Korean, Urdu, and Chinese README files.

Changes

Platform-specific desktop commands

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform-specific desktop commands
README.md, docs/README.*.md
The contribution instructions now map desktop development commands to macOS and Windows. Localization updates preserve the intended language in translated guides.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8bea6

This documentation-only change directs Windows contributors to the Windows development command; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit checks each command with care
macOS hops here, Windows hops there
The guides now show the proper way
For desktop work from day to day
Clear paths help each shell begin
With the right command for Windows within

Comment thread docs/README.de.md Outdated
The Windows alternative was added with an English "or" in all five
translations. Now oder / または / 또는 / یا / 或, with the English README
unchanged.

Good catch — I dropped an English "or" into all five translations. Fixed in 8bea620:

file was now
docs/README.de.md or oder
docs/README.ja-JP.md or または
docs/README.ko.md or 또는
docs/README.ur-pk.md or یا
docs/README.zh-CN.md or

README.md keeps "or", being the English one. Verified each file individually rather than trusting the replace — the Urdu line is RTL and the CJK ones have their own spacing around code spans, so I checked the rendered slice in each.

README desktop dev command is misleading on Windows: should point to pnpm dev:app:win
