[BUG] Desktop app fails to load projects with Chinese characters in path after update #13112

Description

Description

After updating to the latest version of OpenCode Desktop, projects with Chinese characters (or other non-ASCII characters) in their file paths fail to load. The previous version worked fine with Chinese paths.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the latest OpenCode Desktop version
2. Try to open a project with Chinese characters in the path (e.g., F:\编程\小程序\中文名26.01.23)
3. The application shows multiple errors and fails to load the project

Expected Behavior

The project should load successfully, as it did in previous versions of OpenCode.

Actual Behavior

The following errors appear:

• "Failed to reload [project name]" with [object Object]
• "无法加载 [project name] 的会话" (Cannot load project sessions)
• "列出文件失败" (Failed to list files)

Console error:

Error: Stale read from <Show>.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• OpenCode Version: Latest (updated on 2026-02-11)
• Path Example: F:\编程\小程序\中文名26.01.23
• Previous Version: Worked fine with Chinese paths

Additional Context

• The issue appears to be related to UTF-8 encoding of paths
• In the config file (opencode.global.dat), Chinese characters are incorrectly encoded
• Workaround: Creating symbolic links with English names works fine

Workaround

Creating a symbolic link with an English path works:

New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "F:\badminton-master" -Target "F:\编程\小程序\中文名"

Impact

This is a regression from previous versions and affects users in China, Japan, Korea, and other regions using non-ASCII characters in file paths.

Suggested Fix

• Ensure proper UTF-8 encoding for file paths throughout the application
• Test with non-ASCII characters in paths before releases
• Add automated tests for internationalization (i18n) path handling
