Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the Windows sops-v3.7.3.exe command shown in the report, using the supplied JSON file and age key. Compare the Windows binary's input handling with the working Mac execution; done means decrypting the JSON on Windows without the invalid-character unmarshalling error.
