Variant auto-selection ranks survivors by fit, then engine, then serving feature, then size. The serving-feature lookup recognised a speculative build by either a declared tag or a whole segment of its entry name. Drop the name half: a tag is now the only signal. A name is author-supplied free text and a naming convention is not a contract, so reading a marker out of one infers a capability nobody declared. The gallery already had the failure in it: the four NVFP4 entries name MTP-bearing weights while setting no option that enables speculative decoding, and being live variants they were winning the feature axis without answering any faster. overrides.options was considered as the replacement and rejected. It carries spec_type:draft-mtp / spec_type:draft-dflash, which is what actually turns the feature on, but that spelling is llama.cpp's config vocabulary: ds4 spells the same feature mtp_path and sglang spells it speculative_algorithm in a referenced config. Keying a cross-backend ranking decision on one backend's option syntax would rank the other backends' builds as plain. Options are the curation-time check instead, and never reach the selection logic. With no fallback left, tag correctness is load bearing, so audit every entry against the rule "tagged when the entry configures that feature, in whatever vocabulary its backend uses". Three entries configure MTP untagged and gain the tag (hy3, glm-5.2, qwythos-9b-claude-mythos-5-1m, all spec_type:draft-mtp with no marker in their names). Four carry the tag while configuring nothing and lose it: qwen3.6-27b-nvfp4-mtp, qwen3.6-35b-a3b-nvfp4-mtp, qwopus3.6-27b-coder-mtp-nvfp4 and qwopus3.6-27b-v2-mtp-nvfp4, whose only option is use_jinja:true. The dflash side was checked independently rather than assumed consistent: all five dflash entries declare spec_type:draft-dflash and all five are tagged, so it needed no edits. Four entries keep a tag that a literal spec_type-only reading would strip, because they configure MTP through a different backend: deepseek-v4-flash-q2-mtp via ds4's mtp_path/mtp_draft, and the three sglang entries via speculative_algorithm in their referenced configs. Stripping those would contradict the reason spec_type was rejected as the signal and would demote four genuinely faster builds to plain. The index was edited by line insertion and deletion only, never round-tripped through a serializer. A resolved-tag diff across all 1272 named entries, taken after merge keys are applied, shows exactly these 7 changing and no entry gaining or losing a tag through an anchor. The two specs that pinned the name fallback are inverted rather than deleted, since a name silently promoting a build is the regression worth guarding. The whole-token guard survives on the tag path, where smtp must still not match mtp. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
