What issue are you seeing?
Hello, I use VS Code with the Codex extension and my language is PT-BR UTF-8 WITHOUT BOM. The problem is that whenever the Codex agent encodes something, it converts it to UTF-8-WITCH BOM, and this always breaks my code. How do I configure the Codex extension in VS Code to use UTF-8 WITHOUT BOM? Would it be directly in config.toml?
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Whenever I send a command to the agent to encode it
What is the expected behavior?
