* common : auto-detect spec type from draft GGUF metadata
When -md loads a local draft model without --spec-type, the sidecar
inference in common_models_handler_apply only checks HF repo sidecars
and misses local files. The draft model loads into VRAM but speculative
decoding never activates (types stays NONE).
Read general.architecture from the draft GGUF header and map:
dflash + markov_w1.weight tensor -> draft-dspark
dflash without markov head -> draft-dflash

* onyx: bring the chat parser onto the onyx branch
common/chat.cpp on this branch has no Onyx handling, so a converted model
serves malformed chat: the assistant preamble leaks into content
("to=self<|message|>...") and tool calls fail with
HTTP 500 "The model produced output that does not match the expected
peg-native format"
common_chat_params_init_onyx exists on onyx-fair-patch, added there by
8bb73dd3d. It was never on this branch, so this is not a regression --
the two lines developed independently.
The code here is taken verbatim from that commit. It is the clean side of
`git merge origin/onyx-fair-patch`: chat.cpp is one of the files that
merges without conflict. The full merge is not viable -- it produces 13
conflicts, including add/add on conversion/onyx.py and src/models/onyx.cpp
where the q_norm-folding and metadata-scale approaches contradict each
other, and #4/#7 are stacked on this branch's side of that.
Verified on this branch: builds with 0 errors, converts an Onyx checkpoint,
and serving it gives "4" for "What is 2+2?" plus a correct
get_weather {"city":"Paris"} tool call, where the unported branch gives the
two failures above.
No converter or runtime changes are included, so this should not interact
with the q_norm work.

* DFlash: seed the draft KV cache from multimodal embedding batches
`common_speculative_impl_draft_dflash::process()` returned early on any batch carrying embeddings, so an image prefill never had its target-layer features fused through the DFlash encoder and injected into the draft's KV cache. That left a hole spanning the image's positions, and the next injection at a post-image position failed to initialize its batch:
```
decoding image batch 1/1, n_tokens_batch = 256
decode: failed to initialize batch
llama_decode: failed to decode, ret = -1
process: llama_decode(ctx_dft) failed rc=-1 (n_tokens=17, offset=0)
srv decode: failed to process speculative batch
```
Every image request with `--spec-type draft-dflash` failed with HTTP 500. Text-only was unaffected, since those batches carry token ids and were let through.
Restore the earlier condition, which admits a batch that is either tokens or embeddings and skips only the degenerate neither/both cases. The rest of `process()` is already layout-agnostic -- it gathers features via `llama_get_embeddings_layer_inp()` and indexes `batch_in.pos[]` / `batch_in.seq_id[]`, none of which assume token ids -- so this is the whole fix.
Validated against `muse-glimmer-30B-bf16.gguf` + `mmproj-muse-glimmer-30B-bf16.gguf` + a DFlash draft head, on an image describe-the-shapes request:
- before: HTTP 500, `failed to process speculative batch`
- after: HTTP 200, draft acceptance 0.34012 (167 accepted / 491 generated), mean len 3.04
Output equivalence holds, which is the property that matters: at temperature 0 the drafted response is byte-identical to the same request served with no draft attached (1213/1213 chars), so the draft is drafting correctly through the image context rather than merely not crashing.
* Conversion: prefer rewrite to mapping

This commit contains a suggestion to reduce some code duplication in
common_speculative_init when adding the enabled speculative decoding
configurations.
No tests were added but the existing server tests still passes with this
change:
```console
$ ./tests.sh unit/test_speculative.py -v -x
```
* spec: add DSpark speculative decoding
DSpark (DeepSpec, 2026) on top of the merged DFlash drafter. It reuses the
DFlash encoder/decoder graph, target feature extraction and KV-cache injection,
and the verify/accept path unchanged; the draft model is a new "dspark" arch
adding a low-rank Markov head (markov_w1/w2) and an optional (unused here)
confidence head. No new public APIs.
The proposal is the only change: the block is anchor-first (position 0 already
predicts the first draft) and the decoder graph applies a semi-autoregressive,
previous-token conditioned logit bias in-graph, chained per block position:
logits'(i) = logits(i) + markov_w2 . markov_w1[prev(i)]
prev(0) = the block's anchor token, prev(i>0) = argmax(logits'(i-1))
vectorized across all blocks in the batch; the anchors are fed through a
dedicated graph input (token 0 of every block). Greedy stays lossless
(verify unchanged, same as DFlash).
- new arch "dspark" (llama_model_dspark : llama_model_dflash, reuses the graph,
loads the markov/confidence tensors; shares the target's embed/lm_head).
- Qwen3DSparkModel converter.
- new spec type "draft-dspark" (common_speculative_impl_draft_dspark :
common_speculative_impl_draft_dflash, overrides draft() only: submits whole
anchor-first blocks and greedily reads back the biased logits).
* spec: read draft block size in the dflash impl
* docs: add DSpark section to speculative.md
* spec: keep dspark block size read in the dspark impl
* dspark : add TODOs for incomplete parts
- confidence head is loaded but not used yet
- confidence-scheduled prefix pruning is not implemented
- the in-graph Markov chain is greedy-only
- only Qwen3 backbones are supported for now (also noted in docs)
* spec: fold DSpark into the DFlash arch
Address review: drop LLM_ARCH_DSPARK and the dspark.block_size /
markov_rank GGUF keys. A DSpark draft now converts to a DFlash GGUF;
the Markov head tensors are detected by presence (like eagle3 d2t),
block_size is read from the existing dflash.block_size key, and the
block anchors are taken as a strided view of the decoder's token
input instead of a separate graph input.
* spec: add confidence-based draft pruning for DSpark
The DSpark confidence head predicts per-position acceptance of the
drafted block. --spec-draft-conf-min truncates the block at the first
position below the threshold (default 0 = disabled).
* fold the dspark impl into dflash, selected by spec type
* address review comments
* dspark: clean up and improve naming
* update readme
* remove trailing whitespace
* dflash: draft full n_max blocks, defer dp.n_max to the central truncation
The DSpark markov head views the draft batch as a uniform [n_seqs x block]
grid, but the per-seq dp.n_max clamp could produce blocks of different
sizes, silently corrupting the strided views and the resulting logits.
Drop the clamp and always draft the full n_max block for every sequence:
dp.n_max is already enforced by the central truncation in
common_speculative_draft(), the same way eagle3 handles it.

* dflash: assert the markov head block-uniformity invariant, require the conf head
With the draft batch always submitting equal-size n_max blocks, a
non-divisible token count can only mean the batch was split across
ubatches or a caller broke the layout - fail loudly instead of silently
dropping the markov bias. The block_drafts > block_size early return
stays: worst-case graph reserve passes legitimately build with
n_seq_tokens > block_size.
Also make conf_proj required when the markov head is present: the
confidence head is part of the DSpark checkpoint format, and a missing
head would otherwise leave --spec-draft-conf-min silently reading stale
embeddings instead of confidences.

* dspark: fold conf_min into p_min
p_min and conf_min express the same thing - the minimum predicted
survival probability for a drafted position - differing only in how the
estimate is obtained: token probability for regular drafters, the
trained confidence head for DSpark. The DSpark readback never used
p_min, so reuse it for the confidence threshold and drop the separate
--spec-draft-conf-min flag. Both defaulted to 0 (disabled), so behavior
is unchanged.

* dflash: note the confidence broadcast workaround
Requested in review: the ggml_repeat only adapts the [1, n_tok]
confidences to the n_embd-wide embd_nextn transport so that
llama_get_embeddings_nextn can be reused - not a placeholder.

* common: fix explicit -md precedence over draft sidecar resolution
Follow-up of #25955, an explicit --model-draft file given with -hfd
was silently overridden by the sidecar resolution of the draft repo,
and its path was never resolved to a local file.
An explicit draft file selection now disables the sidecar resolution,
so the manual CLI configuration wins over the automatic one.
* common: apply the -hfd tag to the sidecar resolution
The sidecar selection was anchored on the primary of the draft plan,
so a tag without a matching full model aborted the whole plan, and
the sidecar quant silently followed the default model pick.
The tag now anchors the sidecar directly: exact tag match first, then
closest quant to the tag, and a requested sidecar resolves even when
no full model matches the tag. A wired draft sidecar also counts as
an explicit draft, so the main plan no longer downloads a second one.
* common: promote speculative load logs from trace to info
Show the loaded draft model and the MTP draft context at the default
verbosity, for consistency with the mmproj and primary logs.

This is a non-functional change.
When using `--spec-type ngram-map-k4v`, the log messages at startup and
runtime say `ngram-map-k`. Added logic in the in the constructor of
`common_speculative_impl_ngram_map_k` to pass the correct
`COMMON_SPECULATIVE_TYPE_NGRAM_MAP_K4V` when `config.key_only` is
`false`.
After this change, the log messages use the correct name.
* speculative : add common_speculative_n_max helper function
Extract the speculative max-draft-size logic from server_n_outputs_max
into a reusable common_speculative_n_max() function in common/speculative.
