common/chat.cpp on this branch has no Onyx handling, so a converted model
serves malformed chat: the assistant preamble leaks into content
("to=self<|message|>...") and tool calls fail with
HTTP 500 "The model produced output that does not match the expected
peg-native format"
common_chat_params_init_onyx exists on onyx-fair-patch, added there by
8bb73dd3d. It was never on this branch, so this is not a regression --
the two lines developed independently.
The code here is taken verbatim from that commit. It is the clean side of
`git merge origin/onyx-fair-patch`: chat.cpp is one of the files that
merges without conflict. The full merge is not viable -- it produces 13
conflicts, including add/add on conversion/onyx.py and src/models/onyx.cpp
where the q_norm-folding and metadata-scale approaches contradict each
other, and #4/#7 are stacked on this branch's side of that.
Verified on this branch: builds with 0 errors, converts an Onyx checkpoint,
and serving it gives "4" for "What is 2+2?" plus a correct
get_weather {"city":"Paris"} tool call, where the unported branch gives the
two failures above.
No converter or runtime changes are included, so this should not interact
with the q_norm work.
