"""Bundled chat-template selection for GGUF inference.

Some shipped GGUF quants embed an older chat template. Rather than re-cutting and
asking users to re-download every quant, Studio can override the embedded template
at llama-server launch time with a bundled, up-to-date Jinja template for known
model families. The override is wired through the existing ``chat_template_override``
-> ``--chat-template-file`` path in ``LlamaCppBackend.load_model``.

Currently this covers ``unsloth/gemma-4-*-GGUF``, which gains the upstream PR #118
``preserve_thinking`` flag (defaulted OFF here) so the Studio "Preserve thinking"
toggle appears while staying disabled by default.
