Risky. This skill has patterns associated with unsafe behaviour. Read the source carefully before running it.

Fix intermittent `{:no_translation, :unicode, :latin1}` crashes in Elixir escript daemons that use length-prefixed framed IPC on stdin/stdout. Use when: (1) daemon worker crashes only on some input files, usually ones with non-ASCII bytes (kanji, cyrillic, emoji); (2) error surfaces as `Protocol error` from daemon's error branch or as garbled frame-length bytes seen by the orchestrator/client side; (3) standalone one-shot mode works fine on the same input but multi-request daemon mode fails; (4) `IO.binread(:stdio, N)` returns `{:error, {:no_translation, :unicode, :latin1}}` despite the "bin" prefix suggesting it should be encoding-agnostic. Root cause is the escript default `:standard_io` encoding — it's `:unicode`, and `IO.binread` still routes through the io_server, which translates bytes to codepoints and errors when raw binary frames contain invalid UTF-8 sequences.
