[Rovo Dev CLI] SSL Certificate and Encoding (cp932) issues on Windows 11

[sumi takashi]

I am experiencing two issues while running acli rovodev run in my environment. I've found temporary workarounds, but I’m looking for a permanent solution.

Environment:

• OS: Windows 11

• Shell: PowerShell

• Network: Behind a Zscaler proxy

Issue 1: SSL Certificate Verification Failed When running via proxy, I get a [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] error.

• Workaround: Disabling Zscaler temporarily.

• Question: Is there a way to specify a custom CA certificate bundle for Rovo Dev CLI?

Issue 2: Character Decoding Error (cp932) The CLI fails with a 'cp932' codec can't decode byte 0x94 error, likely due to a full-width character (dash "—") in config.yml.

• Workaround: Enabling "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" in Windows Region settings.

• Question: Is it possible to make the CLI handle UTF-8 encoding by default on Windows without changing system-wide locale settings?
