CN-locale fork fixing file upload encoding for Chinese filenames
Mor1arty's fork appears to be a Chinese-locale deployment of the upstream legal-AI codebase. The sole tracked change is a targeted fix to the file upload middleware: multer's default latin1 interpretation of multipart filename headers is corrected by re-decoding originalname via Buffer.from(name, "latin1").toString("utf-8") in backend/src/lib/upload.ts.
No feature work, no architectural changes. One bug, one patch.
