Tried Cline with a local Qwen2.5-Coder 14B model through llama.cpp.

Same story. The model works perfectly when called directly, but the agent integration doesn't actually execute the tools. It generates things like:

<tools> {"name": "read_files", ...} </tools>

as plain text and then just sits there until I tell it to "do it" again. It repeats the exact same fake tool call.

So instead of:

Qwen → tool call → grep/find/read → result → Qwen

I get:

Qwen → pretend tool call → nothing happens → repeat.
