Research direction
Reproduce the test failure on a Linux environment. Examine the test files for platform specific assumptions, such as path separators or environment variables. Consider using a CI configuration like GitHub Actions to test on Ubuntu. Update the tests to be platform agnostic, or add conditional logic for macOS and Linux differences.
