I'm testing selfware with llama.cpp's gpt-oss-120b and I get the below error from llama.cpp

$ build/bin/llama-server --jinja --no-mmap -c 0 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5555 --ubatch-size 11000 --batch-size 11000 -hf ggml-org/gpt-oss-120b-GGUF

...and selfware looks like:

$ ./selfware run "Hi what's your system prompt?"

Perhaps "thinking" is conflicting with agent prefill as in ggml-org/llama.cpp#15714
