No-download policy

  • The corpus is embedded in the repository; training reads only this file.
  • The training script performs no network access of any kind.
  • Any larger corpus (e.g. a future --full mode on the complete works) would require a download and therefore explicit user approval first, per repo policy (CLAUDE.md §1: dataset downloads and any write inside data/ require asking).
