What

Make psutil a platform-scoped core dependency (psutil>=7.2.2; sys_platform == 'win32') instead of an opt-in non-linux extra.

Why

On win32 psutil is load-bearing: WindowsProcessHost probes engine liveness/identity through it (no /proc, and os.kill(pid, 0) there is a destructive CTRL_C_EVENT). When it's absent probe_liveness() degrades to "unknown", so bmad-loop tui paints every run as ? regardless of actual state.

The default install path never pulled it — the bmad-loop-setup skill installs bmad-loop[tui], not [non-linux]. This marker makes pip, uv tool, and the setup skill all get psutil automatically on Windows. Linux stays dep-free; the non-linux extra remains the macOS opt-in.

Closes #71

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Windows setup by including an additional required dependency automatically on that platform.
    • Updated optional package notes to reflect platform-specific installation behavior more clearly.

Warning

Review limit reached

@dracic, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 54 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

The psutil package is added as a Windows-conditional core dependency in pyproject.toml (sys_platform == 'win32'), alongside the existing pyyaml dependency. Comments in the tui optional-dependencies section are updated to reflect that Windows now gets psutil as a core dependency, while macOS remains an opt-in.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core and optional dependency updates
pyproject.toml
psutil is added to core dependencies conditionally for Windows (sys_platform == 'win32'), and the tui extra's comments are updated to describe the new dependency strategy, removing the older non-Linux/process-discovery comment.

Poem

A rabbit hopped on Windows snow,
Found psutil finally ready to go,
No more ? marks in the TUI's face,
Just alive or dead, each run in place.
Hop, hop, hooray — dependencies flow! 🐇✨

On Windows psutil is load-bearing, not optional: WindowsProcessHost probes
engine liveness/identity through it (no /proc, and os.kill(pid,0) is a
destructive CTRL_C_EVENT on win32). When it is absent every liveness read
degrades to "unknown" and the TUI paints every run as `?`.

It was only declared in the optional `non-linux` extra, which the default
install path (bmad-loop-setup's `[tui]`) never pulls. Promote it to a
platform-scoped core dependency so pip, uv tool, and the setup skill all get
it automatically on Windows; Linux stays dep-free and the extra remains the
macOS opt-in.

Closes bmad-code-org#71

Comment thread pyproject.toml
psutil is now a core dep on win32, so pointing Windows users at the optional
bmad-loop[non-linux] extra is misleading. Reword both _psutil() errors (and
their docstrings) to say "reinstall bmad-loop" on Windows and keep the extra
hint for macOS.

Windows: psutil should be a hard dependency, not an opt-in extra (TUI shows every run as ?)
