Backport of repo-template PR #339. The 'Fetch trusted configuration files from main branch' step writes .editorconfig / Directory.Build.props / BannedSymbols.txt back via 'Out-File -Encoding UTF8' which writes UTF-8 *with* BOM. The .NET analyzer engine appears to ignore .editorconfig files prefixed by a BOM, so project-level severity overrides don't apply on CI even though they apply locally — analyzers fire at default severity and TreatWarningsAsErrors then escalates them to errors. Switch to 'Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM' (PS 6+; the runner uses pwsh). Diagnosed against Chris-Wolfgang/In-memory-Logger PR #32 / run 24996715587. See Chris-Wolfgang/repo-template#339 for the full write-up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Updates the CI workflow to write “trusted” configuration files fetched from main as UTF-8 without a BOM, preventing .editorconfig/analyzer settings from being ignored on CI when those files are rewritten during the security-hardening step.

Backport of repo-template#339.
The 'Fetch trusted configuration files from main branch' step writes the protected configs back via
Out-File -Encoding UTF8(BOM-prefixed). The .NET analyzer engine appears to ignore BOM-prefixed.editorconfigfiles, so project severity overrides don't apply on CI — analyzers fire at default severity andTreatWarningsAsErrorsescalates findings that pass locally.This is a 4-line workflow-only change:
UTF8→UTF8NoBOMat the four call sites. PowerShell 6+ supports the encoding token;shell: pwshrunners use PS 7+, so it's safe.Diagnosed against In-memory-Logger PR #32 / run 24996715587.
