ai:openaiai:llmtype:template

vLLM chat-template (prompt-side Jinja) operator reference. Template resolution precedence (`--chat-template` → AutoProcessor → tokenizer default → bundled fallback), `chat_template_kwargs` allowlist silently dropping `add_generation_prompt`/`enable_thinking`/custom kwargs (PR 27622 fix), 27 shipped `tool_chat_template_*.jinja` files, known template-layer bugs for Qwen3/Qwen3-Coder, DeepSeek-R1/V3/V3.1/V3.2, GPT-OSS, Kimi-K2, Llama-4, Mistral (HF vs mistral mode), Gemma-3/4, Phi-4, GLM. Prompt side only — output parsing lives in sibling skills.
