Adds eight curated vllm-cpp entries to the model gallery. Until now the backend had gallery coverage only for MiniMax-H3 video, so serving text on it meant hand-writing engine_args. The flagship tier is what vllm.cpp gates its correctness and speed claims on: Qwen3.6-27B and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B in NVFP4, each with a speculative sibling (MTP on both, DFlash on the 27B). Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B covers agentic tool use, and Qwen3-4B / Qwen3-0.6B in bf16 are the entries that run where NVFP4 cannot, CPU included. Three details are load-bearing rather than incidental: - The 27B entries pin revision 890bdef7. That repository was later re-quantized in place from NVFP4 to FP8 W8A8 under the same name, so an unpinned entry resolves to different weights and reports nothing. - Qwen3-Coder names tool_parser: qwen3_coder explicitly. Its dialect is byte-identical on the wire to step3p5's, so chat-template sniffing cannot separate them and auto-detection picks wrong. - enable_prefix_caching is deliberately left unset everywhere. It defaults on for dense models and off for the GDN hybrids, and that per-model default is the right answer. num_blocks is sized per model from its real KV footprint rather than copied between entries, which ranges from 20 KiB/token on the 35B to 144 KiB/token on the 4B. Docs: adds features/vllm-cpp.md covering installation, the model table, the pinning rationale and how to choose between the speculative variants, and cross-links it from the existing engine_args reference. It also records that the CUDA images are built for Blackwell only, which is narrower than vllm.cpp's own ten-architecture release and makes an otherwise cryptic "no kernel image is available" failure legible. Verified: gallery suite green; all eight decode and validate as a ModelConfig. qwen3-0.6b-vllm-cpp confirmed end to end on a real cluster, chat plus engine-parsed tool_calls. The NVFP4 entries are not yet runtime-verified: no available node has kernels for them.
