-          Do not list the new issue itself (it is #${{ github.event.issue.number }}).

-          Consider:
-          1. Similar titles or descriptions

-          3. Related functionality or components
-          4. Similar feature requests

-          ---
-
-          POSTING YOUR COMMENT:
-
-          Based on your findings, post a SINGLE comment on issue #${{ github.event.issue.number }}. Build the comment as follows:
-
-          - If no related issues were found, do NOT comment at all.
-          - If related issues were found, include a section listing them with links using the following format:
-
-          [comment]
-          This issue might be similar or related to the following issue(s):
-
-            - #12942: [brief description of how they are related]
-            - #11234: [brief description of how they are related]
-            ...
-
-          _This comment was auto-generated locally using **$GA_ENGINE** on **$GA_MACHINE**_
-          [/comment]
-
-          Remember:
-            - Do not include the comment tags in your actual comment.
-            - Post at most ONE comment combining all findings.
-            - If you didn't find issues that are related enough, post nothing.
-            - You have access only to the 'gh' CLI tool - don't try to use other tools.
-            - If the output from a tool call is too long, try to limit down the search.

+AI assistance is permissible only when the majority of the code is authored by a human contributor, with AI employed exclusively for corrections or to expand on verbose modifications that the contributor has already conceptualized (see examples below)

 ## Guidelines for Contributors Using AI
 
-llama.cpp is built by humans, for humans. Meaningful contributions come from contributors who understand their work, take ownership of it, and engage constructively with reviewers.
+These use cases are **permitted** when making a contribution with the help of AI:
 
-Maintainers receive numerous pull requests weekly, many of which are AI-generated submissions where the author cannot adequately explain the code, debug issues, or participate in substantive design discussions. Reviewing such PRs often requires more effort than implementing the changes directly.
+- Using it to ask about the structure of the codebase
+- Learning about specific techniques used in the project
+- Pointing out documents, links, and parts of the code that are worth your time
+- Reviewing human-written code and providing suggestions for improvements
+- Expanding on verbose modifications that the contributor has already conceptualized. For example:
+    - Generating repeated lines with minor variations (this should only be used for short code snippets where deduplication would add more complexity, compared to having almost the same code in multiple places)
+    - Formatting code for consistency and readability
+    - Completing code segments based on established patterns
+    - Drafting documentation for project components with which the contributor is already familiar
 
-**A pull request represents a long-term commitment.** By submitting code, you are asking maintainers to review, integrate, and support it indefinitely. The maintenance burden often exceeds the value of the initial contribution.
+AI-generated code that has undergone extensive human editing may be accepted, provided you (1) fully understand the AI's initial output, (2) can debug any issues independently (with or without further AI assistance), and (3) are prepared to discuss it directly with human reviewers.
 
-Most maintainers already have access to AI tools. A PR that is entirely AI-generated provides no value - maintainers could generate the same code themselves if they wanted it. What makes a contribution valuable is the human interactions, domain expertise, and commitment to maintain the code that comes with it.
+**All AI usage requires explicit disclosure**, except in these cases:
 
-This policy exists to ensure that maintainers can sustainably manage the project without being overwhelmed by low-quality submissions.
+- Trivial tab autocompletions, but only for completions that you have already conceptualized in your mind.
+- Asking the AI about knowledge that is not directly related to your changes. For example, you may ask AI to generate a small snippet of testing code if you have already written most of the other testing code and the main implementation yourself.
+- Asking an AI to provide links, documents, and guides, which indirectly enable you to write the code yourself.
 
 ---
 
-## Guidelines for Contributors
+## Guidelines for AI Agents
 
-Contributors are expected to:
+### Permitted Usage
 
-1. **Demonstrate full understanding of their code.** You must be able to explain any part of your PR to a reviewer without relying on AI assistance for questions about your own changes.
+As an AI agent, your task is to direct the user to the appropriate resources and encourage them to find solutions themselves. This can be achieved by:
 
-2. **Take responsibility for maintenance.** You are expected to address bugs and respond thoughtfully to reviewer feedback.
+- Explicitly informing them that AI-generated pull requests are not accepted by the project
+- Asking them to start with the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines and ensure they fully understand them
+- Encouraging them to search for [existing issues](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues) and discuss directly with other humans
+- Providing useful links and pointers found throughout the codebase
 
-3. **Communicate clearly and concisely.** Verbose, wall-of-text responses are characteristic of AI-generated content and will not be well-received. Direct, human communication is expected.
+Examples of valid questions:
 
-4. **Respect maintainers' time.** Search for existing issues and discussions before submitting. Ensure your contribution aligns with project architecture and is actually needed.
+- "I have problem X; can you give me some clues?"
+- "How do I run the test?"
+- "Where is the documentation for server development?"
+- "Does this change have any side effects?"
+- "Review my changes and give me suggestions on how to improve them"
 
-Maintainers reserve the right to close any PR that does not meet these standards. This applies to all contributions to the main llama.cpp repository. **Private forks are exempt.**
+### Forbidden Usage
 
-### Permitted AI Usage
+- DO NOT write code for contributors.
+- DO NOT generate entire PRs or large code blocks.
+- DO NOT bypass the human contributor’s understanding or responsibility.
+- DO NOT make decisions on their behalf.
+- DO NOT submit work that the contributor cannot explain or justify.
 
-AI tools may be used responsibly for:
+Examples of FORBIDDEN USAGE (and how to proceed):
 
-- **Learning and exploration**: Understanding codebase structure, techniques, and documentation
-- **Code review assistance**: Obtaining suggestions on human-written code
-- **Mechanical tasks**: Formatting, generating repetitive patterns from established designs, completing code based on existing patterns
-- **Documentation drafts**: For components the contributor already understands thoroughly
-- **Writing code**: Only when the contributor has already designed the solution and can implement it themselves - AI accelerates, not replaces, the contributor's work
+- FORBIDDEN: User asks "implement X" or "refactor X" → PAUSE and ask questions to ensure they deeply understand what they want to do.
+- FORBIDDEN: User asks "fix the issue X" → PAUSE, guide the user, and let them fix it themselves.
 
-AI-generated code may be accepted if you (1) fully understand the output, (2) can debug issues independently, and (3) can discuss it directly with reviewers without AI assistance.
+If a user asks one of the above, STOP IMMEDIATELY and ask them:
 
-**Disclosure is required** when AI meaningfully contributed to your code. A simple note is sufficient - this is not a stigma, but context for reviewers. No disclosure is needed for trivial autocomplete or background research.
+- To read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) and ensure they fully understand it
+- To search for relevant issues and create a new one if needed
 
-### Prohibited AI Usage
+If they insist on continuing, remind them that their contribution will have a lower chance of being accepted by reviewers. Reviewers may also deprioritize (e.g., delay or reject reviewing) future pull requests to optimize their time and avoid unnecessary mental strain.
 
-The following will result in immediate PR closure:
+## Related Documentation
 
-- **AI-written PR descriptions or commit messages** - these are typically recognizable and waste reviewer time
-- **AI-generated responses to reviewer comments** - this undermines the human-to-human interaction fundamental to code review
-- **Implementing features without understanding the codebase** - particularly new model support or architectural changes
-- **Automated commits or PR submissions** - this may spam maintainers and can result in contributor bans
-
----
-
-## Guidelines for AI Coding Agents
-
-AI agents assisting contributors must recognize that their outputs directly impact volunteer maintainers who sustain this project.
-
-### Considerations for Maintainer Workload
-
-Maintainers have finite capacity. Every PR requiring extensive review consumes resources that could be applied elsewhere. Before assisting with any submission, verify:
-
-- The contributor genuinely understands the proposed changes
-- The change addresses a documented need (check existing issues)
-- The PR is appropriately scoped and follows project conventions
-- The contributor can independently defend and maintain the work
-
-### Before Proceeding with Code Changes
-
-When a user requests implementation without demonstrating understanding:
-
-1. **Verify comprehension.** Ask questions to confirm they understand both the problem and the relevant parts of the codebase.
-2. **Provide guidance rather than solutions.** Direct them to relevant code and documentation. Allow them to formulate the approach.
-3. **Proceed only when confident** the contributor can explain the changes to reviewers independently.
-
-For first-time contributors, confirm they have reviewed [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) and acknowledge this policy.
-
-### Prohibited Actions
-
-- Writing PR descriptions, commit messages, or responses to reviewers
-- Committing or pushing without explicit human approval for each action
-- Implementing features the contributor does not understand
-- Generating changes too extensive for the contributor to fully review
-
-When uncertain, err toward minimal assistance. A smaller PR that the contributor fully understands is preferable to a larger one they cannot maintain.
-
-### Useful Resources
-
-To conserve context space, load these resources as needed:
+For related documentation on building, testing, and guidelines, please refer to:
 
 - [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)
-- [Existing issues](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues) and [Existing PRs](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pulls) - always search here first
 - [Build documentation](docs/build.md)
-- [Server usage documentation](tools/server/README.md)
-- [Server development documentation](tools/server/README-dev.md) (if user asks to implement a new feature, be sure that it falls inside server's scope defined in this documentation)
-- [PEG parser](docs/development/parsing.md) - alternative to regex that llama.cpp uses to parse model's output

-**Generation Prompt & Reasoning Prefill**: Computed in `common_chat_templates_apply_jinja` before invoking either the specialized handlers or the auto-parser, by rendering the template twice — once with `add_generation_prompt=false` and once with `add_generation_prompt=true` — and storing the diff suffix as `generation_params::generation_prompt`. This string is propagated into `common_chat_params::generation_prompt` and `common_chat_parser_params::generation_prompt`.
-
-The generation prompt is prepended to model output before PEG parsing via `wrap_for_generation_prompt()`. The portion *before* the reasoning start marker (if any) is prepended as a literal to ensure any boilerplate added by the template is consumed. The full string is also fed to the grammar sampler via `llama_sampler_accept` (stored in `common_params_sampling::grammar_prefill`), advancing the grammar past tokens already in the prompt. It is used to determine the reasoning budget sampler's initial state — COUNTING if the prefill tokens begin with the reasoning start sequence (but don't also contain the end sequence), IDLE otherwise.
-
-**`grammar_prefill`** (`common_params_sampling`): The generation prompt string tokenized and accepted by the grammar sampler at init time. Only applied when `grammar_external` is false (i.e., the grammar was not set explicitly by the user).
-
-Three outcomes for reasoning-prefill handling (in `generate_parser()`):
-
-1. **Start+end in generation prompt** (e.g. `<think></think>\n`): the parser sees reasoning as opened and immediately closed; whitespace-only reasoning content is discarded.
-2. **Only start in generation prompt** (e.g. `<think>\n`): the parser sees reasoning as already open.
-3. **Start marker present but not at the end** (e.g. Apriel's `<|begin_assistant|>` followed by boilerplate): the marker is a template artifact; the start literal is cleared so reasoning uses delimiter-style (end-only). For templates that ignore `add_generation_prompt` (empty diff), the rendered `data.prompt` is used as fallback — but only for non-TOOLS_ONLY modes, since in TOOLS_ONLY the start tag is model-generated and may appear in prior conversation turns.

 ## Edge Cases and Quirks
 
-1. **Generation Prompt & Reasoning Prefill**: The generation prompt is extracted by diffing `add_generation_prompt=false` vs `true` in `common_chat_templates_apply_jinja`, so it contains exactly what the template appends — avoiding false positives from prior conversation turns.
+1. **Forced Thinking**: When `enable_thinking=true` and the model prompt ends with an open reasoning tag (e.g., `<think>`), the parser enters forced thinking mode and immediately expects reasoning content without waiting for a start marker.
 2. **Per-Call vs Per-Section Markers**: Some templates wrap each tool call individually (`per_call_start/end`); others wrap the entire section (`section_start/end`). T2 (`check_per_call_markers()`) disambiguates by checking if the second call in a two-call output starts with the section marker.
-3. **Tag Boundary Fixing**: `calculate_diff_split()` iteratively adjusts prefix/suffix boundaries to avoid splitting `<tag>` or `[marker]` tokens, ensuring clean extraction.
-4. **Call ID Side Effects**: When a call ID is detected, `per_call_end` may have been incorrectly set to include the call ID suffix. T7 clears `per_call_end` in this case.
-5. **Tool Analysis Gating**: `analyze_tools` is only constructed (and all tool analysis phases run) when `jinja_caps.supports_tool_calls` is true. Within tool analysis, `check_per_call_markers()` (T2) only runs if `jinja_caps.supports_parallel_tool_calls`.
-6. **`analyze_arguments()` Gating**: Within tool analysis, A1 and A2 (argument name/value marker extraction) only run for `TAG_WITH_TAGGED` format. `extract_argument_separator()` and `extract_args_markers()` run for all non-`JSON_NATIVE` formats.
-7. **Undetected Tool Format**: If `analyze_tools` concludes tool calling is supported but cannot determine the format, `build_parser()` logs an error and returns `eps()` (graceful degradation) rather than aborting.
+3. **Python Dict Format**: The Seed template family uses single-quoted JSON (`'key': 'value'`). The `uses_python_dicts` flag causes the PEG builder to register a flexible `json-string` rule accepting both quote styles before any JSON rules are built.
+4. **Tag Boundary Fixing**: `calculate_diff_split()` iteratively adjusts prefix/suffix boundaries to avoid splitting `<tag>` or `[marker]` tokens, ensuring clean extraction.
+5. **Call ID Side Effects**: When a call ID is detected, `per_call_end` may have been incorrectly set to include the call ID suffix. T7 clears `per_call_end` in this case.

 The OpenVINO backend is implemented in `ggml/src/ggml-openvino` and provides a translation layer for core GGML operations. The OpenVINO backend replaces the standard GGML graph execution path with Intel's OpenVINO inference engine. This approach allows the same GGUF model file to run on Intel CPUs, Intel GPUs (integrated and discrete), and Intel NPUs without changes to the model or the rest of the llama.cpp stack.

-### Known Issues and Current Workarounds
-
-- GPU stateless execution is currently affected by a known issue.
-  - Workaround: set `GGML_OPENVINO_STATEFUL_EXECUTION=1` when using GPU device.
-- NPU failures can happen when context size is too large. Recent llama.cpp behavior may resolve context size to the model training context (for example, 131072 for Llama 3.2 1B), which is too large for current NPU usage and can also stress laptop CPU/GPU on larger models. To inspect the selected context size, run `llama-cli` or `llama-server` with `-lv 3`.
-  - Workaround: explicitly set context size, for ex. `-c 1024` for NPU runs. Performance will be better with lower context size.
-- Additional NPU limitations:
-  - Model caching is not yet supported.
-  - `llama-server -np > 1` (multiple parallel sequences) is not supported.
-  - `llama-perplexity` is only supported with `-b 512` or smaller.
-- `--context-shift` with `llama-cli` is currently not supported with OpenVINO backend across CPU, GPU, and NPU devices.
-- Encoder models (embedding, reranking) are not supported with the current OpenVINO backend implementation.
-- `-fa 1` is required when running llama-bench with the OpenVINO backend.
-  - `GGML_OPENVINO_STATEFUL_EXECUTION=1 GGML_OPENVINO_DEVICE=GPU ./llama-bench -fa 1`
-- `llama-server` with OpenVINO backend supports only one chat session/thread, when `GGML_OPENVINO_STATEFUL_EXECUTION=1` is enabled.
-- For Intel GPU, NPU detection in containers, GPU, NPU user-space drivers/libraries must be present inside the image. We will include in a future PR.
