🎯 Use case
This file lives under “utils/”, which covers cross-cutting helpers (shell, tempfiles, settings, messages, process input, …). On the API surface it exposes stripBOM — mainly functions, hooks, or classes. What the file header says: Leaf stripBOM — extracted from json.ts to break settings → json → log → types/logs → … → settings. json.ts imports this for its memoized+logging safeParseJSON; leaf callers that can't import json.ts use stripBOM + jsonParse inline (syncCacheState does this). UTF-8 BOM (U+FEFF): P.
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments — not hand-reviewed for every path.
🧠 Inline summary
Leaf stripBOM — extracted from json.ts to break settings → json → log → types/logs → … → settings. json.ts imports this for its memoized+logging safeParseJSON; leaf callers that can't import json.ts use stripBOM + jsonParse inline (syncCacheState does this). UTF-8 BOM (U+FEFF): PowerShell 5.x writes UTF-8 with BOM by default (Out-File, Set-Content). We can't control user environments, so strip on read. Without this, JSON.parse fails with "Unexpected token".
