Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate how loadImage() handles file paths on Windows. Look into the conversion from file path to URI or buffer, and check if non ANSI characters are properly encoded. Trace the usage of fs methods like fs.readFile or path operations that might fail with non ANSI paths.
