Fixes #1310. ## Description On Windows, `headroom` startup crashes a subprocess reader thread: ``` UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8d in position 7894: character maps to <undefined> ... subprocess.py _readerthread -> buffer.append(fh.read()) ... encodings/cp1252.py ``` Text-mode `subprocess` calls omit `encoding=`, so Python decodes child output with the locale codec (**cp1252** on Windows). Children that emit UTF-8 ??? `cbm index_repository` (indexing sources with chars like `???`/`???`), `claude mcp get/add`, the memory-sync process ??? produce bytes invalid in cp1252 and kill the reader thread. Linux/macOS default to UTF-8, so it's invisible there. ## Type of Change - [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue) ## Changes Made - Add `encoding="utf-8", errors="replace"` to every text-mode (`text=True` / `universal_newlines=True`) subprocess call in the `headroom/` package (~50 call sites; several already had it). - `errors="replace"` (not `ignore`) so corrupt bytes surface as `???` rather than vanishing from parsed output. - Add `tests/test_cli/test_subprocess_utf8_encoding.py`: an AST guard asserting every text-mode subprocess call pins `encoding=`. The runtime crash can't reproduce on UTF-8 CI, so the invariant is enforced at the source level instead. ## Testing - [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`) - New guard test passes (validates 51 call sites). - `tests/test_install`, `tests/test_cli/test_mcp.py`, `tests/test_mcp_registry` pass. (`test_runtime_start_lock_blocks_another_process` fails on this Windows box, but it fails identically on unmodified `main` ??? a pre-existing `msvcrt` lock flake, unrelated.) ### Test Output ```text > python -m pytest tests/test_cli/test_subprocess_utf8_encoding.py -q 1 passed in 0.12s > python -m pytest tests/test_install/ tests/test_cli/test_mcp.py tests/test_mcp_registry/ -q 133 passed, 2 skipped in 15.34s ``` ## Real Behavior Proof - Environment: Windows 11, Python 3.13.13. - Exact command / steps: Started `headroom` without `PYTHONUTF8=1` on a repo with UTF-8 chars in indexable files. Observed the `UnicodeDecodeError` crash. Applied the fix (pinning `encoding="utf-8"` on all text-mode subprocess calls). Re-ran. No crash. The AST guard enforces the invariant on CI (which runs UTF-8 locales and cannot reproduce the cp1252 crash natively). - Observed result: Subprocess reader threads no longer crash on UTF-8 output under cp1252 locale. - Not tested: All third-party tools that `headroom` shells out to; each was given `errors="replace"` as a safety net. ## Workaround for affected users (before fix is deployed) `PYTHONUTF8=1` (PowerShell: `$env:PYTHONUTF8=1; headroom ...`). ## Review Readiness - [x] I have performed a self-review - [x] This PR is ready for human review --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

"""Guard: every text-mode subprocess call uses the shared wrapper.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, text-mode ``subprocess`` defaults to the locale codec (cp1252) when
|
|
``encoding=`` is omitted. Child output that is UTF-8 (e.g. a repo index printing
|
|
symbol names with ``↔``/``—``) then raises ``UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap'`` in the
|
|
reader thread and aborts startup.
|
|
|
|
The fix is a shared wrapper at ``headroom._subprocess`` that automatically sets
|
|
``encoding="utf-8", errors="replace"`` when ``text=True`` or
|
|
``universal_newlines=True``. This test asserts that no raw ``subprocess.run`` /
|
|
``subprocess.Popen`` (or similar) call with ``text=True`` exists in the shipped
|
|
package — they must all go through the wrapper.
