Start-Process with a file argument on non-Windows PowerShell tries to execute the file as a binary instead of using the OS file association, so an .html report (no +x bit) fails with "Permission denied" and the script exits with a fatal error after the assessment otherwise succeeds. Use the platform-native opener at the end of the script: - macOS: & open $htmlReportPath - Linux: & xdg-open $htmlReportPath - Windows: Start-Process $htmlReportPath (unchanged) $IsMacOS / $IsLinux are PowerShell 6+ automatic variables, so this is a no-op on Windows PowerShell 5.1 where neither evaluates true.
