"""Best-effort early import for the OpenAI SDK's native streaming parser. The OpenAI SDK imports ``jiter`` while constructing streaming chat-completion responses. On some Windows installs the native extension can be imported directly from the Hermes venv, but the first import fails when it happens later inside the threaded streaming request path. Loading it once during agent package import avoids that import-order failure while preserving the normal SDK error path for genuinely missing or broken installs.
