Per review: CJK and legacy single-byte encodings already passed the old control-char heuristic (their bytes are all >= 0x80, never NUL), so the full Encoding.detect pass in isBinaryFile was solving a non-problem for them. The only realistic regression in the old heuristic is UTF-16 with BOM, where the second byte of every ASCII character is 0x00 and fires the NUL-byte early-return. Replace the detect call with a 2-byte BOM check via a new Encoding.hasUtf16Bom helper. Also reword the move/add inline markers in patch/index.ts to note that Encoding.write handles mkdir.
