Cross-Platform Support Implementation

[nishbarot]

1. Resource Management:

   • Added platform-specific checks using platform.system()
   • Implemented macOS resource limits using resource module
   • Maintained Windows support using win32job
   • Added graceful fallbacks for both platforms

2. Dependencies:

   • Updated requirements.txt with conditional dependencies:

     psutil>=5.8.0
     pywin32>=228; platform_system == "Windows"
     

3. Git Configuration:

   • Updated .gitignore to exclude platform-specific build artifacts
   • Added virtual environment directories to prevent large file commits

• Windows: Uses win32job for process and memory management
• macOS: Uses native resource module and process groups
• Common: Uses psutil for cross-platform monitoring

4. Testing Done

• Tested on macOS Sonoma
• [] Tested on Windows 10/11
• Verified resource limits work on MacOS
• Confirmed graceful fallbacks when limits can't be set

5. Breaking Changes
   None. All changes are backward compatible.
