WalkthroughQwen chat-template handling distinguishes regular ChatML templates from templates that define empty-think behavior. Rendering adds the empty-think suffix only for the latter when thinking is disabled. A C++ test executable checks detection and rendering. ChangesQwen Chat Templates

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Exclude inert Jinja text from thinking-template detection.
If a ChatML template contains {# enable_thinking <think>\n\n</think>\n\n #}, Line 30 classifies the template as chatml_thinking. The comment renders nothing, but qwen_apply_chat_template then adds an empty-think suffix when thinking is disabled. Check that the marker belongs to the generation-prompt branch, and add a test with both strings in a Jinja comment.
As per coding guidelines, “Tests exercise the changed behavior and would fail for the regression they claim to prevent.”

Background
Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 uses ChatML without the hybrid Qwen3 disabled-thinking suffix. TRTMC classified both templates as plain
chatmland appended an empty think block whenever thinking was disabled, changing the checkpoint's prompt.Closes #1615.
Exit Criteria
Implementation
The Qwen-owned detector distinguishes templates containing the thinking option and the empty-block literal. Rendering adds the suffix only for that format. Classification uses the checkpoint template bundled in
tokenizer_config.jsonrather than the model name.Adds a standalone C++ CPU regression target with 13 cases, registered in the family's CMake file. All three changed files remain under
families/qwen/.Change categories

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

Method: original full self-review, followed by a focused manual review of the rebased diff and conflict resolution.
Reviewed Head:
8445cd5927ce855beb361e0f7b8bcabdda279b2c.Result: PASS for the bounded prompt-rendering change; GPU and required CI evidence remain pending.
Findings and Resolution: no blocking code or ownership findings. Confirmed Qwen-local ownership, regression sensitivity, preserved hybrid behavior, author-owned DCO sign-off, and explicit unrun model validation.
Notes For Future Readers
Template classification occurs when the family loads the bundle. No engine, bundle format, public API, or acceptance-threshold changes are introduced. This preserves the current helper's supported ChatML rendering scope; it does not add a general Jinja interpreter.
Risk level
Risk rationale: prompt bytes change for non-thinking ChatML checkpoints, which can affect generated answers. Focused CPU parity passes; model inference still needs validation.
