Research direction

Start in .github/workflows/test.yml at line 56, where CI downloads the data, and inspect how that step behaves when the download fails. Reproduce or review the intermittent failure, then verify that CI waits longer and retries the download before failing. Confirm the workflow completes successfully when the initial download attempt is unavailable.
