Hello! Why this big jump in filePeekSize?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
That pesky comment that contains á that breaks UTF-8 detection may be at the end of the file.
This is not a full solution, just a bet that source files should be less than a megabyte long.
A full solution could be retrying the whole indexing on decoding error.
But that felt more involved - though I could try it if you confirm that'd be better.

Hey! We're meeting now and generally like this PR. We have two asks before we merge it:
Thank you again! |
The big peek buf was needed to ensure that a non-utf8 rune at the end of the file does get the attention and be tried with the fallback encoding. A more robust approach is to just try the reading as-is, validating the encoding, and try the fallback encoding if this fails. Also add a test case.

Sorry for my slow reply, but now I've added a test case, and implemented the more robust retrying logic. |

May I assist reviewing this PR? |
