+# Fix llm_int8_skip_modules not being respected for VLMs with dynamic quantization.
+# Dynamic quant checkpoints (eg gemma-3-4b-it-unsloth-bnb-4bit) encode skip paths as
+# "language_model.model.layers.*", but the live module tree surfaces them as
+# "model.language_model.layers.*". This prefix mismatch causes should_convert_module
+# to miss the skip list, so modules meant to stay in 16-bit get wrapped in Linear4bit
+# without a quant_state, producing "Skipping ... no quant_state found" warnings.
+# We patch should_convert_module to expand both the module name and the skip patterns
+# into all equivalent alias forms before delegating to the original matcher.
+# Ref: https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/issues/4208
