Subject: [PATCH] fix: add utf-8 encoding to extension and preset registry file
 I/O (#3834)

Both extension and preset registry read/write calls used platform-default
encoding, which on Windows (cp1252/UTF-16) would corrupt UTF-8 JSON data
or raise UnicodeDecodeError. Explicitly specify encoding='utf-8' to match
the JSON contract.
