⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Unix line endings (LF) detected — convert to CRLF.

Batch files require Windows line endings for reliable label parsing (E018).

🧰 Tools
🪛 Blinter (1.0.112)

[error] 1-1: Unix line endings detected. Explanation: Batch file uses Unix line endings (LF-only) which can cause GOTO/CALL label parsing failures and script malfunction due to Windows batch parser 512-byte boundary bugs. Recommendation: Convert file to Windows line endings (CRLF). Use tools like dos2unix, notepad++, or configure git with 'git config core.autocrlf true'. Context: File uses Unix line endings (LF-only) - 41 LF sequences found

In `@blinter/build.cmd` at line 1, Convert the file build.cmd to use CRLF line
endings instead of LF so Windows batch label parsing works reliably; update the
file's line endings (for example via your editor's "Save with CRLF", git
core.autocrlf=true, or add a .gitattributes entry like "*.cmd text eol=crlf")
and re-commit so the REM header and all batch labels parse correctly on Windows.

Unix line endings (LF) detected — convert to CRLF.

Batch files require Windows line endings for reliable parsing (E018).

🧰 Tools
🪛 Blinter (1.0.112)

[error] 1-1: Unix line endings detected. Explanation: Batch file uses Unix line endings (LF-only) which can cause GOTO/CALL label parsing failures and script malfunction due to Windows batch parser 512-byte boundary bugs. Recommendation: Convert file to Windows line endings (CRLF). Use tools like dos2unix, notepad++, or configure git with 'git config core.autocrlf true'. Context: File uses Unix line endings (LF-only) - 56 LF sequences found

open install.bat and convert its line endings to CRLF (e.g., via your editor's

endings; optionally ensure .gitattributes or your editor is configured to
preserve CRLF for *.bat files to prevent regressions.

P1 Badge Prevent destructive command execution in fixture

This line executes del *.* immediately because & is a command separator in batch files, so accidentally running blinter/test.bat on Windows can delete files in the current working directory. Even for a lint sample, committing an executable fixture with real destructive side effects is risky for local runs and CI misconfiguration; prefer a non-executable representation or escape/neutralize the payload so it cannot perform deletion when invoked.

GOTO to point to an existing label, or remove/replace the GOTO with structured
flow (e.g., CALL/IF/EXIT) if appropriate; locate the offending statement "goto
missing_label" and implement one of these fixes so the jump target is defined.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Infinite loop prevents script completion.

The :loop label creates an unconditional infinite loop with no exit condition.

Proposed fix 
+set LOOP_COUNT=0
 :loop
+set /a LOOP_COUNT+=1
+if %LOOP_COUNT% GTR 5 goto end
 echo looping
 goto loop
+
+:end

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@blinter/test.bat` around lines 18 - 20, The batch script contains an
unconditional infinite loop using the label ":loop" and "goto loop" (with "echo
looping") that prevents completion; modify the control flow so the loop has an
exit condition (for example check a counter, a file/flag, user input, or a
specific condition and break to an exit label) or remove the goto loop entirely
so the script can terminate; locate the ":loop" label and the "goto loop"
statement and implement the chosen exit mechanism (e.g., increment/test a
variable and conditionally goto loop or use conditional goto to an ":end" label)
so the script no longer loops forever.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Duplicate :label1 labels cause undefined behavior.

Windows batch processor behavior with duplicate labels is unpredictable — typically only the first occurrence is used.

Proposed fix 
 :label1
 echo first
-:label1
-echo duplicate
+:label2
+echo second

In `@blinter/test.bat` around lines 22 - 25, There are duplicate batch labels
named ":label1" which cause undefined behavior; remove or rename the second
":label1" so each label is unique (e.g., rename the second to ":label2") and
update any GOTO or CALL targets that reference the duplicate label to point to
the new unique label; ensure any logic that expected the second label is
adjusted accordingly and test the batch flow to confirm correct jumps for the
functions or echoes around the symbols ":label1".
