What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Agent, command, skill and CLAUDE.md-style files saved with a UTF-8 byte-order mark had their YAML frontmatter treated as ordinary body text. All three frontmatter parsers now strip the mark first.
Details
Covers the generic parser, the multi-file loader that reports "Could not read", and the agent/skill parser that special-cases a leading ---.
Evidence
e.charCodeAt(0) === 65279 ? e.slice(1) : e
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
