+# Mojibake Detection: Cover CP437
+
+`TestNoMojibake` (compliance test 24) exists to keep
+double-encoded UTF-8 out of source files. It only knew one
+corruption, and the file that holds it carried 21 instances of
+another.
+
+## Problem
+
+`internal/compliance/compliance_test.go` had every em-dash in its
+section headers rendered as `ΓÇö`: an em dash
+(`0xE2 0x80 0x94`) misread as CP437 (`ΓÇö`), re-encoded as UTF-8,
+then put through the same round trip a second time. CP437 is the
+default code page of the Windows console, so this is what a
+PowerShell or `cmd` pipeline produces.
+
+The detector matched only the Windows-1252 signature
+`0xC3 0xA2 0xE2` (the start of `—`), so it passed on its own
+corrupted file.
+
+## Solution
+
+1. Restore the 21 em-dashes.
+2. Teach `TestNoMojibake` three signatures, each the garbled form
+   of UTF-8 lead byte `0xE2` (shared by everything in
+   U+2000–U+2FFF: dashes, quotes, ellipsis, arrows) plus the
+   start of the next character:
+
+   | Code page           | Signature                      |
+   |---------------------|--------------------------------|
+   | Windows-1252        | `C3 A2 E2`                     |
+   | CP437               | `CE 93 C3` (Γ + Latin-1 lead)  |
+   | CP437, applied twice| `E2 95 AC C3 B4` (Γ)           |
+
+   None of them occurs in legitimate text. The failure message
+   names the code page.
+3. Spell the example corruptions in the test's doc comment as
+   code points, because the literal forms would trip the test on
+   its own file.
+
+Bundled, same file: the context-window slice in the failure
+message uses `max`/`min` (the old code showed no leading context
+for a match within the first 20 bytes), and the stale
+`allGoFiles` doc comment now lists all five directories the
+walker skips, not just `vendor/`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `TestNoMojibake` passes on the repaired tree.
+- Planting each signature (`ΓÇö` in `compliance_test.go`,
+  `ΓÇö` in a `.go` doc file, `—` in another) makes the test fail
+  once per file with the matching code page named.
+- `make lint` and `make test` pass.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Scanning Markdown or YAML. `allSourceFiles` covers `.go`, `.ts`,
+  and `.js`; widening it is a separate decision. A repo-wide grep
+  for the three signatures found no other occurrences.
