pana incorrectly states that a platform isn't supported.

I see a number of packages where pana incorrectly states that a supported platform is not supported.

https://pub.dev/packages/dcli/score

Package does not support platform `Linux`.
Because:

package:dcli/dcli.dart that imports:
package:dcli/src/util/string_as_process.dart that imports:
package:dcli/src/util/runnable_process.dart that imports:
package:dcli/src/process/process/process_in_isolate.dart that imports:
package:dcli/src/process/process/in_isolate/process_runner.dart that imports:
package:dcli_terminal/dcli_terminal.dart that imports:
package:dcli_terminal/src/terminal.dart that imports:
package:dart_console/dart_console.dart that imports:
package:dart_console/src/console.dart that imports:
package:dart_console/src/ffi/win/termlib_win.dart that imports:
package:win32/win32.dart that declares support for platforms: Windows.

Whilst the package does import windows libraries it has conditional code around those components so it does in fact support linux.

I understand what you are trying to do here, but false negatives like these can be damaging to a packages reputation.

Yeah - the platform detection is heuristic, only looking at the static shape of the code.

False negatives can be overridden by declaring platforms for the package itself: https://dart.dev/tools/pub/pubspec#platforms

package:dart_console/src/console.dart imports package:dart_console/src/ffi/win/termlib_win.dart directly, which imports win32, in that sense this is working as intended.

Note: I'm not sure, but IIRC the detection code handles some of the conditional imports. If it would import it conditionally, we would detect the linux platform support too. In the absence of that (or if the conditional import is not working as I remember it), declaring the platform as above should work.

conditional imports don't have access to the OS. You can separate web vs vm and wasm I believe...
