I ran il start on my Linux dev server and hit three errors in a row. First, it couldn't find the code CLI command (I use Code Server, which doesn't ship one). Passed --no-code . Second, it detected a non-interactive environment (I was in a Claude Code terminal session). Passed --epic explicitly. Third: Terminal window launching not yet supported on linux. No flag. No fallback. No workaround. The core workflow, the entire reason the tool exists, was hardcoded for macOS. Every invocation mode failed: single issue, epic, one-shot.
