I cannot access the image file at that path — it's in `/var/folders/` which is outside the allowed working directory (`/Users/jheppler/work/chnm/pwd`). The transcription script needs to either:
1. Copy the image into the project directory (e.g., under `_transcription/`) before invoking me, or
2. Pass the image via a URL that I can fetch, or
3. Run with a permission profile that allows reading from temp directories
The file also appears to be unreadable as an image (the Read tool detected non-image bytes), which may indicate a download error from the Omeka API.
