Option: Inspect the printed internal error; fix repo corruption with git fsck, or run in a UTF-8 locale / rename non-UTF-8 paths; or use --no-git. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Starting aider in a repo with unreadable index or non-UTF-8 path names
Steps:
1. Read the 'Internal error:' line
2. Run `git status` / `git fsck` to confirm repo health
3. For encoding errors set a UTF-8 locale (e.g. LANG=C.UTF-8) or rename offending files
4. Fallback: aider --no-git
Expected: The error no longer appears.
