Plan: Standardize UTF-8 encoding in knowctl

Summary

Standardize .encode() calls to .encode("utf-8") for consistency in MD5 hash calculations.

Changes

File: bin/knowctl

Line	Current	Change to
218	body.encode()	body.encode("utf-8")
585	body.encode()	body.encode("utf-8")
647	body.encode()	body.encode("utf-8")

Verification

Run knowctl sync-topics - behavior should be unchanged since UTF-8 is the default encoding.
