vh b8f0f4c568 fix(char-rp): enable Gemma-4 tool-calling on the MeroMero seat
The char-rp seat shipped with no tool-call parser at all, so every
tools-bearing request was rejected outright:

  400 "auto" tool choice requires --enable-auto-tool-choice and
      --tool-call-parser to be set

MeroMero-v2 is Gemma-4, which emits its own native
`<|tool_call>call:name{...}<tool_call|>` syntax rather than the
qwen3_coder XML the Qwen-family seats use. vLLM 0.24 ships a matching
`gemma4` parser whose TOOL_CALL_START/END, CHANNEL_START/END and escape
token constants line up with this tokenizer's etc/eoc/escape tokens
exactly.

Three flags, and they are a set:

- --tool-call-parser gemma4 + --enable-auto-tool-choice: the fix proper.
- --reasoning-parser gemma4: without it the post-tool-response turn
  leaks a literal `<|channel>thought\n<channel|>` prefix into content
  (upstream vllm #45834 — the chat template leaves the prompt inside an
  open channel block).
- --default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": false}': MANDATORY
  companion to the reasoning parser. The parser reads enable_thinking
  from chat_template_kwargs and defaults it to True
  (vllm/parser/gemma4.py:439); True makes is_reasoning_end() return
  False at a new turn, pre-initialising the engine to REASONING, which
  routes ALL plain RP prose into reasoning_content and returns a null
  content — breaking every char-rp consumer. This template already
  defaults enable_thinking to false (chat_template.jinja:350), so
  passing it explicitly renders a byte-identical prompt (verified across
  plain / tools / post-tool-response / system-prompt shapes). It changes
  generation not at all; it only corrects the parser state machine.

Verified green on the live seat after deploy: tool call streaming and
non-streaming, tool-result round-trip (leak gone), plain prose in
content with reasoning null, vision unchanged.

# meromero-charrp — G4-MeroMero-v2-31B NVFP4A16 char-rp PROSE seat (non-thinking, MULTIMODAL)
# on ana-ml2 GPU0. Replaces the retired Magidonia GGUF seat (char-rp-gguf / llama-charrp).
#
# Gemma-4 dense but with SLIDING-WINDOW attention -> KV-efficient, serves the full native 256K
# at ~2x concurrency. Vision enabled: preprocessor_config.json was materialized from
# processor_config.json's image_processor section (Gemma4ImageProcessor); audio is
# config-declared but weightless (no audio tensors) so it serves image + text.
#
# Co-located on GPU0 with vllm-aeon-gen (gen). util 0.52 leaves ~5GB GPU0 headroom
# (0.55 left only ~1.8GB). Tunables in .env.
