CSV read without an explicit encoding

"CSV read without an explicit encoding" is one of the reliability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n query(ies) read a CSV without setting the encoding. It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Pass Encoding=65001 (UTF-8) or the encoding the source really uses.
