Subject: [PATCH 09/28] Fix review findings: Gemma4 LoRA/BnB patches, GDN
 extraction, finalize_huggingface_model

- patch_gemma4_vllm_lora_support: use functools.wraps on patched_create_lora_manager so
  _call_create_lora_manager's signature inspection still sees vllm_config; pass model
  positionally to lora_manager_cls to avoid "multiple values for 'model'".
- patch_gemma4_vllm_k_eq_v_support: also handle split k_proj/v_proj layout (current
  upstream Gemma4) by duplicating k quant-state to synthetic v entry; keep packed
  qkv_proj path as fallback.
- load_vllm: gate Gemma4 patches on enable_lora / use_bitsandbytes (not is_vision_model),
  so text-only Gemma4 + LoRA / BnB also works.
- extract_gdn_layers: derive qkvz offsets from gdn.key_dim/value_dim when
  ColumnParallelLinear has no output_sizes; manually split in_proj_ba into b/a instead
  of calling get_state_dict with kk=1 (IndexError); preserve BnB quant_state sidecars;
  handle FP8 weight_scale (not only weight_scale_inv) and dynamic/row-wise FP8;
  export linear_attn.norm.weight.
- finalize_huggingface_model: fix layer_idx for standard causal LMs (not only VLM path);
  rebuild Gemma4 vision rotary_emb from vision_config with fp32 buffers; guard
  rotary_pos_emb on vision_config availability; mirror language_model detection from
  set_additional_modules.
- get_model_layer_config: register Gemma4 per_layer_input_gate / per_layer_projection /
  post_per_layer_input_norm; add Qwen3.5 visual.merger.linear_fc1 / linear_fc2 and drop
  the broken linear_fc{kk} template.
- set_dtype_in_config (hf_utils): prefer the modern 'dtype' field; fall back to
  'torch_dtype' only when 'dtype' is absent, avoiding the deprecation warning on
  current transformers.
- vllm_utils state-dict loop: skip layer.mlp extraction for linear-attn-only layers
  (defensive) while still capturing layer_scalar.
- _normalize_state_dict_tensor: guard is_sparse behind isinstance(value, torch.Tensor)
  so non-tensor state-dict values pass through.

Subject: [PATCH 10/28] Fix review findings for PR #3: Gemma4 LoRA/BnB patches,
 GDN extraction, finalize_huggingface_model

- patch_gemma4_vllm_lora_support: use functools.wraps on patched_create_lora_manager so
  _call_create_lora_manager's signature inspection still sees vllm_config; pass model
  positionally to lora_manager_cls to avoid "multiple values for 'model'".
- patch_gemma4_vllm_k_eq_v_support: also handle split k_proj/v_proj layout (current
  upstream Gemma4) by duplicating k quant-state to synthetic v entry; keep packed
  qkv_proj path as fallback.
- load_vllm: gate Gemma4 patches on enable_lora / use_bitsandbytes (not is_vision_model),
  so text-only Gemma4 + LoRA / BnB also works.
- extract_gdn_layers: derive qkvz offsets from gdn.key_dim/value_dim when
  ColumnParallelLinear has no output_sizes; manually split in_proj_ba into b/a instead
  of calling get_state_dict with kk=1 (IndexError); preserve BnB quant_state sidecars;
  handle FP8 weight_scale (not only weight_scale_inv) and dynamic/row-wise FP8;
  export linear_attn.norm.weight.
- finalize_huggingface_model: fix layer_idx for standard causal LMs (not only VLM path);
  rebuild Gemma4 vision rotary_emb from vision_config with fp32 buffers; guard
  rotary_pos_emb on vision_config availability; mirror language_model detection from
  set_additional_modules.
- get_model_layer_config: register Gemma4 per_layer_input_gate / per_layer_projection /
  post_per_layer_input_norm; add Qwen3.5 visual.merger.linear_fc1 / linear_fc2 and drop
  the broken linear_fc{kk} template.
- set_dtype_in_config (hf_utils): prefer the modern 'dtype' field; fall back to
  'torch_dtype' only when 'dtype' is absent, avoiding the deprecation warning on
  current transformers.
- vllm_utils state-dict loop: skip layer.mlp extraction for linear-attn-only layers
  (defensive) while still capturing layer_scalar.
- _normalize_state_dict_tensor: guard is_sparse behind isinstance(value, torch.Tensor)
  so non-tensor state-dict values pass through.

Subject: [PATCH 14/28] Fix review findings for PR #5

- hf_utils.set_dtype_in_config: store string (JSON-safe, keeps string
  comparisons in patch_model_and_tokenizer working); fix fallback
  else-branch that had the HAS_TORCH_DTYPE field selection inverted.
- empty_model.extract_gdn_layers: read bnb_quant_state off the raw
  Params4bit before unwrapping .data; emit weight.quant_state and FP8
  weight_scale(_inv) shards for the in_proj_b / in_proj_a split so
  quantized Qwen3.5 GDN layers round-trip correctly.
- vllm_utils.convert_vllm_to_huggingface: rebuild linear_attn.conv1d
  as a grouped Conv1d with real channels/kernel_size/groups/padding
  instead of treating it as a LayerNorm-style weight swap.
- empty_model.patch_gemma4_vllm_lora_support: soft-import
  vllm.v1.worker.lora_model_runner_mixin so older supported vLLM
  layouts keep working.
- vllm_utils._get_vllm_state_dict: extract Gemma4 per_layer_input_gate
  and per_layer_projection so converted HF models carry the real
  checkpoint weights.
- empty_model.finalize_huggingface_model: restrict dtype propagation
  to the top-level config and its known text/vision/audio subconfigs;
  consolidate the duplicated Gemma4 rotary re-init into one loop while
  keeping the post-.to(dtype) float32 buffer / attention_scaling
  restoration.
- vllm_utils.assert_same_state_dict: _normalize_state_dict_tensor now
  returns None for non-tensor entries (e.g. BnB QuantState dicts) and
  callers skip those; align tied-embedding fallback tolerances with
  the outer comparison (atol=1e-4, rtol=1e-3).
- vllm_utils._test_is_same_vlm: cast only floating-point tensors to
  model.dtype for Gemma3/Gemma4 processors, leaving integer inputs
  like pixel_values untouched.
- vllm_utils._get_vllm_state_dict: collapse the unreachable lm_head
  elif chain; hoist the constant model_type/attention_k_eq_v check
  out of the gemma4_k_eq_v_layers set comprehension.
- empty_model.get_model_layer_config: move model.visual.merger.
  linear_fc1 / linear_fc2 from additional_layers (which expected a
  {kk} placeholder) into non_layered_components.

Subject: [PATCH 20/28] Fix review findings for PR #7

Apply 16 accepted review fixes across two files:

- set_additional_modules now honors non_layered_components explicitly so
  Qwen3-VL merger.linear_fc1/2 are restored instead of dropped by the
  generic "linear" substring filter.
- _get_vllm_state_dict moves layernorm extraction (and layer_scalar
  capture) above the no-mlp early-continue so layers without an mlp
  attribute still get their input/post layernorms exported.
- extract_gdn_layers dequantizes per-shard BnB QuantStates before
  concatenating into the fused in_proj_qkv weight, avoiding K/V being
  dequantized with Q's scales. The in_proj_ba single-shard merged-layer
  case now dequantizes and splits instead of silently dropping
  in_proj_a quant_state.
- Gemma4 top-level per-layer-input modules (embed_tokens_per_layer,
  per_layer_model_projection, per_layer_projection_norm) are added to
  non_layered_components and extracted from the vLLM text model.
- patch_gemma4_vllm_lora_support now also patches Gemma4ForCausalLM
  (when available) and guards class-level supports_lora /
  embedding_modules writes behind an idempotency flag.
- finalize_huggingface_model reapplies dtype to the live config tree
  after copy_attributes, switches vision-rotary detection from class
  equality to identity-based id() membership, and keeps inv_freq
  buffers at float32 for all archs (matching transformers default).
- convert_vllm_to_huggingface preserves buffer registration for
  layer_scalar-style entries instead of unconditionally wrapping them
  in nn.Parameter.
- assert_same_state_dict only relaxes tolerances on the dtype-mismatch
  / FP8 upcast branch; same-dtype comparisons keep torch defaults.
- Conv1d rebuild branch is qualified with linear_attn substring so it
  won't silently rebuild future non-GDN conv1d layers as depthwise.
- _test_is_same_vlm falls back to a synthetic PIL image when the
  remote sloth URL load_image fails, so the test runs offline.

Subject: [PATCH 21/28] Consolidate review tests for PR #7

Append 9 regression tests to tests/test_vllm_to_hf_conversion.py covering
the fixes applied during review:

- set_additional_modules now restores visual merger linear_fc1/2.
- _get_vllm_state_dict extracts layernorms even when a decoder layer
  lacks an mlp attribute.
- finalize_huggingface_model propagates dtype to live config tree after
  copy_attributes replaces the config object.
- finalize_huggingface_model uses identity-based vision rotary detection
  so text rotary is not misclassified when text and vision configs
  share a Python class.
- convert_vllm_to_huggingface preserves buffer registration for
  layer_scalar-style entries instead of converting them to nn.Parameter.
- assert_same_state_dict uses tight torch defaults for same-dtype
  comparisons; loose tolerance only applies on the FP8/dtype-mismatch
  upcast branch.
- Conv1d rebuild branch is qualified with linear_attn substring.
- patch_gemma4_vllm_lora_support now covers both
  Gemma4ForConditionalGeneration and Gemma4ForCausalLM.
- get_model_layer_config includes Gemma4 top-level per-layer-input
  modules in non_layered_components.

Also corrects the rotary inv_freq dtype assertion in
test_finalize_non_gemma4_rotary_buffers_follow_model_dtype to match the
new always-float32 behavior of finalize_huggingface_model.

Subject: [PATCH 24/28] Fix review findings for PR #7

- finalize_huggingface_model: guard Gemma4 multimodal rotary rebuild with
  try/except and broaden vision-rotary detection by module path, so a
  copy-attributes id() drift no longer reroutes a vision rotary through
  the text_config (which lacks the vision rope_parameters shape and
  crashed with KeyError 'rope_type' / NoneType ** Tensor).
- finalize_huggingface_model: lift float rotary buffers to float32 on
  all non-quantized models (not just Gemma4) after new_model.to(dtype),
  fixing an inv_freq / original_inv_freq downcast regression for e.g.
  Qwen3.5. Drops the redundant is_gemma4 fresh-rotary clone used only
  to re-copy attention_scaling (a Python float unaffected by .to).
- finalize_huggingface_model: hoist deepcopy(text_config) out of the
  rotary_emb_local loop so multi-layer Gemma3/4 models don't deepcopy
  the text config once per decoder layer.
- extract_gdn_layers: when dequantizing the fused in_proj_ba BnB shard,
  compute the b/a split midpoint on the dequantized tensor rather than
  the packed uint8 Params4bit buffer whose shape[0] is numel/2.
- _get_vllm_state_dict: match lm_head by exact name or .lm_head suffix
  instead of substring so unrelated submodule names containing
  'lm_head' cannot shadow the real head.
