Research direction

Start at openai_harmony/init.py around load_harmony_encoding, line 689, and trace the vocabulary download and loading path in an offline environment. Reproduce the reported HarmonyError and determine the expected behavior for loading the vocabulary without network access; completion should include coverage for that offline case.
