🐛 Bug Report: CLI ignore patterns with non-ASCII characters never match, so ignored files are deployed #2129

👟 Reproduction steps

The Go CLI decides what goes into a function or site deployment with internal/ignore (templates/cli/internal/ignore/ignore.go). It handles .gitignore and the ignore field in appwrite.config.json. If a pattern contains any non-ASCII character, it never matches anything.

1. Create a function directory:

   fn/
     .gitignore      -> "données/\nsecret-é.env\n"
     index.js
     données/prod.env
     secret-é.env
     secret-e.env
   

2. Run appwrite functions create-deployment --function-id fn1 --code ./fn --activate true. appwrite push functions uses the same packaging code.
3. List the uploaded archive. I captured it with a local mock API:

   .gitignore
   données/prod.env
   index.js
   secret-e.env
   secret-é.env
   

Cause: translate() loops over the pattern byte by byte and writes regexp.QuoteMeta(string(character)), where character is a byte. In Go, string(byte) converts the byte to a rune. Each byte of a multi-byte UTF-8 character (é = C3 A9) therefore turns into a different character (Ã, ©), and the compiled regexp cannot match the real path. The escape branch (\é) has the same problem.

👍 Expected behavior

Patterns match the way the ignore npm package matches them (the package mirrors that library and pins it with testdata/cases.json). ignore@7 reports données/secret.env, secret-é.env, x.café and 日本/a/b.key as ignored for the patterns données/, secret-é.env, *.café and 日本/**/*.key. Those files should be left out of the deployment archive.

👎 Actual Behavior

No pattern that contains a non-ASCII character matches. The files they should exclude are packed and uploaded with the deployment. That can include secrets such as .env files kept in a directory with an accented name.

🧱 Your Environment

The CLI generated from appwrite/sdk-generator main (0955bec). The same code ships in appwrite/sdk-for-cli 28.8.0 (internal/ignore/ignore.go lines 197 and 204). Tested on macOS arm64 with Go 1.26.
