Replace all corruption variants with HTML entities across 226 view files:
- 3-char UTF-8-as-Win1252 sequences (ae-corruption)
- Standalone smart/curly quotes that break C# Razor expressions
- Partially re-corrupted variants where the 3rd byte was normalised to ASCII
tools/Fix-Encoding.ps1: re-runnable sweep; uses [char] code points so the
script itself never contains a literal non-ASCII character; supports -DryRun
.githooks/pre-commit: blocks commits containing the ae-corruption byte
signature (xc3xa2xe2x82xac); git core.hooksPath = .githooks so the
hook is repo-committed and active for all future work on this machine.
Build clean; 225 unit tests pass.
