Test structure (11 total requests): [1/3] Vague 'what is the news' + web_search tool — 5 runs, need ≥3 tool_calls [2/3] Same query, no tools — 3 runs, need 3 coherent text responses (sanity) [3/3] Explicit 'Use web_search...' + tool — 3 runs, need 3 tool_calls Pass criteria: all three sections meet their thresholds. Root cause (documented): The chat_template.jinja appends <|channel>thought\n to every non-thinking generation prompt. This flattens the first-token logit distribution for vague queries when tools are present, causing the model to output garbage tokens or ignore tools entirely. Baseline (unfixed): 0/5 vague tool_calls, 3/3 explicit tool_calls.
