This feels like a trunk bug if it requires build before serve on windows

I agree, it is a trunk bug on windows.
But at this moment in time on windows, the guide leads to an error.

I'm not happy with documenting a bug here like this. Ideally, the bug should be fixed, or be documented for Trunk.

To give a JS equivalent, this feels like react docs telling users to run vite build before vite dev on windows (which is also bad)

I understand your position. I had mixed feelings too. But the getting started guide is now not working. Is it in idea to replace it in the following way (below the serve command):

Note
In trunk there is a bug on windows when trunk serve command fails. To workaround the issue you can run trunk build first.
