Research direction

Start by reading issue #100, then inspect the socket startup path involving os.O_NONBLOCK and the underlying Core Agent binary support. Done means the agent starts successfully on Microsoft Windows with a Windows-compatible Core Agent build.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As of writing, we do not start on Microsoft Windows, for two reasons:

  1. On Windows os.O_NONBLOCK does not exist, causing an error when we open a socket
  2. The underlying binary Core Agent does not yet have a build for Windows.

See #100 for the issue about not starting on Windows until there is support.
