[DOCS] Platform-specific docs missing Windows/WSL line-by-line streaming disabled notice

Section/Topic

Windows-specific behavior and known limitations

Current Documentation

No documentation currently exists describing platform-specific streaming behavior differences. Line-by-line response streaming was introduced in v2.1.78 (noted only in the changelog) but has no narrative documentation explaining the feature or its platform availability.

The troubleshooting page has Windows-specific sections covering installation, PATH issues, and Git Bash requirements, but nothing about streaming behavior differences.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.81: "Disabled line-by-line response streaming on Windows (including WSL in Windows Terminal) due to rendering issues."

All Windows and WSL-in-Windows-Terminal users see different response rendering behavior compared to macOS/Linux users. Responses do not stream line-by-line on these platforms. This platform-specific behavior difference is not documented anywhere, leaving Windows users unaware that the difference is intentional rather than a bug.

Suggested Improvement

Add a note to the Windows section of the troubleshooting page or the setup page:

Note: Line-by-line response streaming is disabled on Windows (including WSL in Windows Terminal) due to terminal rendering compatibility issues. Responses will still appear but may render differently than on macOS or Linux.

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
