Qwen 3.5 template tweak stops needless prompt reprocessing

A LocalLLaMA guide shows that in non-thinking/instruct mode, Qwen 3.5 can trigger full prompt reprocessing because empty `<think>` tags get altered across turns. The proposed Jinja fix preserves empty think blocks while still stripping real reasoning content, reducing avoidable reparse behavior in llama.cpp sessions.

// ANALYSIS

This is a practical community-level patch for a real latency pain point, even if it is not an upstream architectural fix.

  • The root cause is template-level prompt mutation, not just model size or hardware limits.
  • The workaround is narrowly scoped to thinking-disabled flows, so it avoids changing normal reasoning-mode behavior.
  • Keeping empty think tags is a low-context-cost tradeoff compared with repeatedly invalidating cache reuse.
  • The author reports good coding-session behavior but no long-context benchmarks yet, so production users should validate on their own workloads.
