This intersects with #329. That PR covers the quality of output: we should find a way to retain the assistant message suffix. This PR addresses the cache locality performance: in some cases (when the message happens to fill
nblock fully, i.e. no cropping needed)... but we were including the chat template suffix... something not in kv cache.This PR makes sure to crop that out all the time. We will still need the real fix for #329 to get good quality output.
