-Bring your own jinja chat template with `--chat-template-file myTemplate.jinja` e.g. [this one provided by DrRos](https://huggingface.co/ubergarm/Kimi-K2.6-GGUF/discussions/4#69e91ea0bca19b1cb0d11d4e).
+Bring your own jinja chat template with `--chat-template-file myTemplate.jinja` e.g. [this one provided by DrRos](https://huggingface.co/ubergarm/Kimi-K2.6-GGUF/discussions/4#69e91ea0bca19b1cb0d11d4e). I also vibe patched one to behave more like Qwen3.6 which is working well with pi coding harness `--chat-template-file Kimi-K2.6-chat-template.jinja` and `-cram 8192` (8GiB RAM) prompt cache without busting cache causing long kv-cache processing.
 
 Seems to be working with spec-decoding e.g. `--spec-type ngram-map-k4v --spec-ngram-size-n 8 --spec-ngram-size-m 8 --spec-ngram-min-hits 2 --draft-min 1 --draft-max 12`
