fix: remove double free in multiprogram encoder initialization (Debug build)

[Atul-Chahar]

Summary

Fixes #2126 - Debug build error message on Windows

Root Cause

In update_encoder_list_cinfo() (src/lib_ccx/lib_ccx.c), the output_filename was being freed immediately after passing it to init_encoder():

c enc_ctx = init_encoder(&ccx_options.enc_cfg); list_add_tail(&(enc_ctx->list), &(ctx->enc_ctx_head)); freep(&ccx_options.enc_cfg.output_filename); // BUG: premature free!

However, the encoder stores this pointer and later frees it during cleanup:

• dinit_encoder() → dinit_output_ctx() → dinit_write() → reep(&wb->filename)

This caused a double-free error that only appeared in Debug builds (which have additional heap validation), explaining why the bug only showed in Debug builds on Windows.

Fix

Remove the premature free (line 479) since the encoder now owns the memory and will clean it up properly during its lifecycle.

Testing

This fix removes the problematic line. The encoder already properly manages the memory throughout its lifecycle, so no other changes are needed.
