Research direction

Start in includes/class-indieauth-client-discovery.php at line 113, where mb_convert_encoding() is called during client discovery, and inspect the surrounding parsing path. Done means the authorization flow no longer fatally errors when that function is unavailable; verify the client-discovery path in a WordPress/PHP environment with the reported condition.
