Problem
ComputerActionExecutor._type_text()pastes text on Windows viaclip.exeand Ctrl+V. The clipboard was filled withtext.encode("utf-16le")(UTF-16 without BOM).On localized Windows (e.g. code page 936 / GBK),

clip.execan treat that byte stream as ANSI/system code page instead of Unicode. Pasting into the taskbar search box or other text fields then shows mojibake (e.g.企业微信→吅OON胜醇).Agent output is unaffected: logs and
action_descstill show the correct Chinese string (type: 企业微信). The bug is in local input, not model responses.Solution
Encode clipboard input as UTF-16 with BOM using Python's
utf-16codec (addsFF FEBOM + UTF-16LE payload), whichclip.exerecognizes as Unicode.Changes
Typing still uses clipboard + Ctrl+V (unchanged); only the Windows clipboard encoding is fixed. macOS (
pbcopy/ UTF-8) and Linux (xclip) paths are unchanged.Files Changed
visual/computer/computer_action_executor.pyTesting
chcp 936), run a task that types a CJK app name into taskbar search (e.g.企业微信).
