The collapsed \p{S} class was missing '~', which split " ~" into
separate pre-tokens and prevented the Ġ~ BPE merge used by DeepSeek V4.
This caused re-tokenized prompts to diverge from sampled tokens and
broke KV cache reuse.

* update to ov-2026.3, update device drivers
* ci: skip nemotron-h rollback test on OpenVINO
The OpenVINO backend does not support SSM_SCAN, so the Nemotron-H recurrent state rollback graph is split and cannot preserve the recurrent cache output shape. Keep the test enabled for other backends and retain the qwen35 OpenVINO rollback coverage.

* xcframework : fix build
* mtmd : remove unused include path
* vendor : use vendor::hash alias target in cmake
CMake reserves "::" in target names for imported/alias targets, so the real
target keeps the name vendor-hash and a vendor::hash ALIAS target is added.
Consumers (mtmd, llama-gguf-hash) now link against the namespaced alias.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* vendor : add cmake targets for all vendored libs with vendor:: aliases
Add INTERFACE targets for the header-only vendor libs (miniaudio, nlohmann,
sheredom, stb) and ALIAS targets named vendor::<lib> for all of them,
including cpp-httplib and hash. Each exposes the vendor/ root so includes
are namespaced, e.g. <nlohmann/json.hpp>.
Consolidate the per-lib add_subdirectory calls into a single
add_subdirectory(vendor), keeping the cpp-httplib gate on LLAMA_BUILD_COMMON.
Consumers (llama-common, mtmd) now link the aliases instead of relying on
raw vendor/ include paths.
hash: consumers now include via "hash/hash.h"; the vendor/hash dir is kept
as a PRIVATE include so the synced upstream sources compile unmodified.

* ci : create pre-release with change log and nightly link in make-release
After pushing the tag, create a pre-release using
ggml-org/action-create-release. The release description is generated by
scripts/make-release-desc.sh: the change log between the current and
previous version (one line per commit), a link to the corresponding
nightly build when it exists, and a note that semantic versioning is
still work in progress.

* ci : find the nightly tag by commit in make-release-desc.sh
The nightly release is guaranteed by the release checks to point at HEAD,
so instead of reconstructing its name (commit count, branch, hash) just
pick the b* tag pointing at HEAD. This also drops the RELEASE_BRANCH env
var from the workflow.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* ci : resolve the release commit from the version tag in make-release-desc.sh
The change log and nightly lookup now use the commit the version tag
points at (HEAD when the tag does not exist), instead of always HEAD.
This makes the script usable locally for older versions, e.g.
./scripts/make-release-desc.sh v0.1.1. The tag is resolved to a SHA
first, since --points-at does not peel annotated tags.

* doc: document MCP stdio servers and CORS defaults in the server README
The MCP arguments were listed but nothing explained what an MCP server
is or how to declare one. Cover the stdio transport, the config keys,
the tool naming, and add a POSIX shell echo server as a minimal
example.
Also document the CORS behavior: the default reflected origin, the
switch to localhost once tools are enabled, and the recommended setting
per deployment.
* doc: drop the inline MCP shell example from the server README
The example parsed JSON-RPC by hand and sat in a page people copy paste
from, into servers spawned with the privileges of llama-server. Point to
the specification instead.
Link the pull request that introduced the feature, and keep a short
mcp.json snippet so the table of configuration keys has a declaration to
refer to.
Add a "Create and push git tag" step to the release job, right before
the "Create release" step. The tag is created with git tag and pushed
with the deploy key already configured by the Clone step, instead of
relying on the Releases API (action-create-release) to create it as a
side effect.
The tag is lightweight, matching all existing b<number> release tags.
The step is idempotent: if the tag already exists (e.g. on a re-run),
creation and push are skipped.

* ci : parallelize platform builds in build-xcframework.sh
The ios-xcode release job builds 7 platform/simulator configurations
sequentially, each with -j $(nproc). Run them with at most 3 concurrent
builds (the release runner has 3 cores), splitting the cores between the
builds (-j 1 each on the runner), so total CPU pressure is unchanged while
the build phase runs about 2.3x faster.
- convert the 7 build blocks into functions (flags unchanged)
- add a run_builds_parallel pool: 3-slot sliding window, per-build logs,
dumps the failing log and aborts on error (background job failures do
not trigger set -e)
- queue the 2-arch builds first so the slower builds occupy the slots early

* pi : add guideline for comments

* ci : make build-xcframework.sh builds configurable via CLI args
The script now takes an optional list of builds to run
(ios-sim ios-device macos visionos visionos-sim tvos-sim tvos-device);
with no arguments it builds all of them, as before. The per-build
lists for the build pool, framework setup, static library combining
and xcframework creation are now driven by a single build_spec
lookup instead of four hardcoded (partially commented-out) lists.
release.yml builds only macos and ios-device to cut the build time.

* dspark: support speculators-format checkpoints (SpecForge exports)
Speculators-format DSpark drafts (e.g. SpecForge exports for the
Gemma-4-26B-A4B target) differ from the dense DeepSpec checkpoints in
three ways:
- the config nests the backbone hparams under transformer_layer_config
and gives the extract layers as aux_hidden_state_layer_ids
- the block is the DFlash 1+N fill-in layout: the anchor slot is a bonus
token, not a prediction slot. Written as dflash.bonus_anchor; such
drafts build the block and read the mask positions exactly like
DFlash (n_max drafts from a 1+n_max block), only the Markov/confidence
sampling comes from DSpark
- the draft output vocab may be reduced (draft_vocab_size < vocab_size)
with a d2t remap table. The converter expands lm_head/markov_w2 back
to the full vocab and synthesizes an lm_head bias of -1e9 on the rows
the draft cannot produce, so the runtime needs no d2t remapping. Such
drafts ship their own (now optional) token_embd/output tensors instead
of sharing the target's
Verified against gemma4-26b-a4b-dspark: greedy outputs are byte-identical
with and without the draft; acceptance 0.46, mean draft len 3.7 (n_max 6).

* dspark: fold the speculators draft class into DSparkModel
One class now covers every DSpark variant. What used to pick the class is
a single flag, because the arch name turns out to be the only thing that
separates the two families: SpecForge also exports a flat schema that
carries no speculators_* fields yet still uses the 1+N bonus-anchor block,
so keying on those fields would silently mis-read its drafts.
Also rename i0 to i_first_pred in the draft read loop and the Markov head,
and give the head a real bonus_anchor bool instead of testing i0 > 0.
Converting the Qwen3-8B DeepSpec draft and both gemma-4 speculators drafts
produces byte-identical GGUFs. The one behaviour change is that the
markov_head_type check now also covers the DeepSpec checkpoints, which
previously skipped it.

* dspark: address review comments
- rename bonus_anchor to sample_from_anchor (GGUF key and code), matching
the checkpoint config field; absent key still means anchor-first
- rework the reduced draft vocab to match EAGLE3: d2t is written as I64
absolute target ids and the logits are scattered at runtime, instead of
expanding lm_head/markov_w2 and synthesizing an output bias at conversion
- move the t2d skip to modify_tensors, like EAGLE3
- drop _is_specforge: the arch name only picks the sample_from_anchor
default, embed/lm_head sharing is decided by the draft vocab size
- deduplicate the tok_embd create_tensor left behind by the rebase
Verified with the RedHat gemma-4-31b speculator draft: greedy output is
byte-identical with and without the draft; acceptance 0.26 (n_max 7).

* ci : allow make-release to target a specific commit
The make-release workflow now accepts an optional 'commit' input. When
set, that commit is checked out and the release checks verify that it
belongs to the branch selected in the "Run workflow" dialog and is not
older than 3 days from the branch tip. The check is part of
make-release-checks.sh (driven by the RELEASE_BRANCH env), so it follows
the same dry-run semantics as the other checks.

* llama-model-saver, instantiate float vector metadata writer
* bailingmoe3: support Q-LoRA (Ling-3.0-tiny)
Ling-3.0-flash sets q_lora_rank: None and projects Q directly, so the current
implementation loads a single ATTN_Q tensor. Ling-3.0-tiny sets q_lora_rank: 256
and routes Q through a LoRA bottleneck instead:
q_a_proj -> q_a_layernorm -> q_b_proj
Conversion therefore failed with:
ValueError: Can not map tensor 'model.layers.3.attention.q_a_layernorm.weight'
Add the missing path, mirroring the existing deepseek2 MLA implementation:
* constants.py - add ATTN_Q_A / ATTN_Q_B / ATTN_Q_A_NORM to BAILINGMOE3
* tensor_mapping.py - map model.layers.{bid}.attention.q_{a,b}_proj and
q_a_layernorm
* conversion - emit attention.q_lora_rank when the config has it
* bailingmoe3.cpp - read n_lora_q; create the Q-LoRA tensors and build Q
through the bottleneck when q_lora_rank > 0
Everything is gated on q_lora_rank > 0. Ling-3.0-flash's config has no
q_lora_rank, the converter only emits the key when present, hparams.n_lora_q
defaults to 0, and get_key(..., required=false) leaves the target untouched when
the key is absent - so flash keeps taking the existing direct-Q branch.
The LoRA path produces the same shape as the direct projection, so the
nope/rope split, RoPE application and wk_b absorption downstream are unchanged.

* model: add Kimi-K3 text model
Hybrid KDA (linear) + MLA (full) attention as in Kimi-Linear-48B, plus five
things that architecture does not have:
1. cross-layer residual attention (attn_res_block_size)
2. latent MoE (routed experts run at n_expert_latent)
3. situ activation (replaces SwiGLU everywhere)
4. MLA output gate (sigmoid gate before o_proj)
5. full-rank KDA gate (single ssm_g instead of ssm_g_a/ssm_g_b)
K3's text_config reports KimiLinearForCausalLM - the older 48B architecture -
so get_model_architecture routes on the top-level name instead.
The KDA decay gate has two forms, selected by linear_attn_config's
gate_lower_bound. It is not a clamp: when set it swaps the activation entirely
(fla/ops/kda/gate.py), from -exp(A_log)*softplus(x) to
lower_bound*sigmoid(exp(A_log)*x). K3 sets it to -5.0; kimi-linear leaves it
unset, so that path is unchanged.
Cross-layer residuals reuse ggml_dsv4_hc_pre for the weighted sum. That op is
CPU + CUDA only, so Metal/Vulkan will fall back per-node until those kernels
exist.
The routed experts ship as compressed-tensors "mxfp4-pack-quantized". That is
bit-compatible with ggml's MXFP4 - same E2M1 code assignment, same E8M0 scale
byte, only the nibble positions within a block differ - so they are repacked
rather than dequantized, losslessly and without a ~5.5 TB bf16 round-trip.
The repack is built lazily because gguf_writer holds every added tensor until
the final write. DeepSeek-V4 was already doing the identical bit-shuffling, so
it now shares the helper.
Verified against Moonshot's own code path (transformers + fla's Triton KDA
kernels) on a tiny model exercising every K3-specific feature. Final-position
logits vs the fp32 reference: 6.7e-05 rel / corr 1.00000000 for both the
chunked and the recurrent delta-net path. MXFP4 blocks dequantize to the source
weights with 0.0e+00 error.

* model: fix ty errors in the Kimi-K3 converter
- `_res_parts` buffers (kind, tensor) pairs, not bare tensors
- `get_tensors` must return an Iterator, matching ModelBase
- LazyBase's `func` takes one argument, so pass the expert loaders through
`args` instead of the closure
- borrowing KimiLinearModel.set_vocab from an unrelated TextModel is
deliberate and safe, but not expressible in the signature
No behaviour change: the MXFP4 repack still dequantizes to the source weights
with 0.0e+00 error and end-to-end logits are unchanged (8.386e-03 rel,
corr 0.99996630).

* Increase LLAMA_MAX_EXPERTS from 512 to 1024
* tests : support for Kimi K3 in archs test
* chat : add Kimi K3 chat format (reasoning, content, typed tool calls)
K3's assistant output is an XTML-ish tagged format built by the template's
open_tag/close_tag macros. Two properties break generic parsing:
1. The generation prompt ends with open_tag('think'), so the completion
starts inside the think section with no opening marker in the output
(thinking_forced_open).
2. Only <|open|>/<|close|>/<|sep|>/<|end_of_msg|> are special tokens; tag
names ("think", "response", "message") are ordinary text tokens.
Adds common_chat_params_init_kimi_k3 (PEG_NATIVE) with detection on the
marker trio, reasoning extraction, response unwrapping, and tool-call
parsing of the tools/call/argument tag structure with argument types
taken from the tool schema. Includes the K3 chat template fixture and 9
test-chat cases derived from real generations of the full 2.8T model.
Verified end-to-end against Kimi-K3-Q2_K (GrEarl/Kimi-K3-GGUF) on 8x B200:
content, reasoning_content, streaming deltas, and tool_calls all correct;
finish_reason stop/tool_calls as appropriate.

* chat : add message_delimiters for Kimi K3
Per-role message-start markers for token-level span splitting. User and
assistant messages carry only the role attribute, so their full opener
(through <|sep|>) is used; system and tool messages continue with more
attributes (type=/tool=/index=), so those delimiters stop after the
role's closing quote. Verified against the K3 tiktoken vocabulary that
the closing quote is always a standalone token across all attribute
variants, so the token-level prefix match stays exact.

* chore : move overly verbose header file comments to Kimi K3 source file
* tests : re-enabled KIMI_K3 in test-llama-archs for WebGPU backend
* model-saver : emit kda_gate_lower_bound for Kimi K3
Quick fix. The Kimi K3 loader reads kda_gate_lower_bound and gates a graph branch on it (it scales the KDA gate when the bound is above -INFINITY), but the model
saver never wrote the key, so a save->load roundtrip silently dropped it back to the -INFINITY default and changed the model's output. The real K3 config sets gate_lower_bound = -5.0.
I propose to emit it from the saver, and set it to -5.0 in the test-llama-archs K3 case so the roundtrip check exercises it (the roundtrip fails without the saver line).
