I'm running Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf using llama-server and connect things like Mistral-Vibe or Claude Code to it and sometimes this happens randomly. But every time I have to restart the server and it picks up from a timeout, I get this and have to abandon the session and reset my context to clear the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've been running into the exact same problem using LM Studio as my backend.
I'm certain it's a minor issue with the template that can be fixed, but in the meantime I am using a rewrite from Claude Opus. If you're interested in a temporary fix to get things up and running, try setting this as your Jinja template: https://share.burke.su/devstral-small-2-jinja-fix.txt
Looking forward to seeing this resolved!
