Seems more an error with https://github.com/AtomLinter/linter-tidy

Agreed, this seems like a problem with Tidy.

Fixed mine. My tidy executable was garbage from 2004 or something. To fix:

• Uninstall your previous tidy executable (you can find it with which tidy)
• brew install tidy-html5
• which tidy should return /usr/bin/tidy
• Restart Atom

As long as you're not manually setting your tidy path in your linter-tidy settings, it should be able to find it.
