Unsloth Studio export bug blocks merged models

A Reddit user hit a `config.json` export failure while trying to export a merged model from Unsloth Studio. The error appears to be an edge-case bug in the export pipeline rather than classic user error, especially around already-merged checkpoints and model-type detection.

// ANALYSIS

This looks like a beta-era export-path bug, not something a beginner is doing wrong. The rough spot is that Unsloth Studio’s export to GGUF flow can fail after merging, leaving the expected files missing and causing downstream conversion to crash because `config.json` never lands in the export folder. A similar `config.json` report has already shown up for other model families, which points to a broader export reliability problem rather than a one-off typo. Because Unsloth Studio is positioned as a local, no-code LLM workflow, export failures are especially painful since they break the handoff from fine-tuning to deployment. For users, the practical takeaway is that the UI path may be less reliable than a manual Hugging Face save plus separate GGUF conversion when exports get weird. For the product, this is the kind of bug that can erode confidence fast because the promise is simplicity but the failure mode is opaque and hard for novices to diagnose.
