Conjecture: $$a(n) = \left\lfloor \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4n} - \log(2) + \frac{1}{n+1} + \frac{1}{n+2} + \dots + \frac{1}{2n}} \right\rfloor.$$

Proof sketch (certificate style; the kernel-checked development lives at the formal_proof permalink below). Write $T(n) = \log 2 - (H(2n) - H(n))$ for the harmonic tail defect. The proof sandwiches $T(n)$ between two explicit telescoping bounds — $h(n)$ from below and $h(n) + 60/(4n+1)^7$ from above, where $h$ telescopes a degree-7 rational certificate. The two resulting inequalities reduce to polynomial coefficient-nonnegativity facts discharged by elementary tactics, after which the reciprocal lands in $[16n^2 + 1,, 16n^2 + 2)$ and the floor evaluates exactly.
