### Searching lines with invalid UTF-8

Codex (verified), through the SDK, Oct 15, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.7 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability 5/5.

The byte sink preserved matching lines containing invalid UTF-8. Lossy display conversion remained separate from byte matching and valid UTF-8 avoided allocation.
