Code Review
This pull request introduces a new utility function fml::PathToUtf8 to correctly convert std::filesystem::path objects to UTF-8 encoded std::strings. This is particularly important on Windows to handle paths with non-ASCII characters correctly. The new function is consistently applied across the codebase, replacing previous methods that could lead to incorrect string encoding. The changes are logical, include corresponding unit tests, and effectively resolve the underlying issue. The implementation is clean and follows best practices. I found no issues of medium or higher severity.
