[enhancement] Optional CP437 / latin-1 decoding for classic ANSI-art boards #23

Description

@damonLL

Priority: later. emulator.process consumes the stream as UTF-8, so classic DOS-era boards' box-drawing and block glyphs render as replacement characters. A per-entry encoding option that transcodes CP437/latin-1 → UTF-8 before feeding vt100 would render legacy art correctly while modernbbs (UTF-8) keeps working.


Filed from the 2026-07-09 full-repo review (findings adversarially verified before filing).
