manifest 0.1.3: capabilities.thinking.control = never (what the bundle's template does about thinking, derived from the template inside the bundle)

Chat template: accept the 0.18 content-parts form (string form unchanged); weights, tokenizer and executor metadata byte-identical

manifest: Android measured rows (Galaxy S26 GPU + same-device CPU control; Pixel 8a where run) and an Android recommendation where the evidence supports one

manifest: Galaxy S26 GPU rows from the S4 gate sweep (Android recommendation where none existed)

Chat template fix (metadata-only, weights unchanged): the template matched history turns only on role 'model', so a conversation created through the Conversation API with the standard role 'assistant' (e.g. create_conversation(messages=[...]) restoring a chat) silently dropped every assistant turn from the rendered prompt. The role conditions now also accept 'assistant'. Every other section is byte-identical; single-turn renders, token ids, prefill and greedy answers are unchanged (verified on the LiteRT-LM runtime). See google-ai-edge/LiteRT-LM#3417. litertlm_manifest.json regenerated in the same commit.
