{#-
Patched Qwen3.6 chat template for coding-agent/tool-calling use.
This is a conservative drop-in patch for Qwen3.6-family repos. It preserves the
official Qwen3.6 vision/text rendering and XML-like tool-call syntax, while fixing
common coding-agent issues around developer messages, thinking toggles, historical
tool calls, and tool responses.
Key changes from the official Qwen3.6 template:
- Preserve image/video/text content handling from upstream Qwen3.6.
- Fold consecutive leading system/developer messages into one system block.
- Support <|think_on|> / <|think_off|> and the enable_thinking flag.
- Avoid exposing thinking-toggle control tokens to the model.
- Avoid injecting empty historical blocks unless generation is explicitly think-off.
- Serialize assistant.tool_calls safely for mapping arguments and JSON-string arguments.
- Include Function: in tool responses when available.
