14 fixture(s) failed only a synthetic strategy: char:* (which can split
special tokens), or a multi-token strategy this engine never produces because its server streams one token per event (one, special, rand:1:8, rand:2:8, rand:3:8, rand:4:8, rand:5:8). These are listed below but never count toward the status.

Minimal repro
uv run canitoolcall run --engine llamacpp --fixtures fixtures/kimi/k3-render.jsonl --id kimi/k3-xtml-attr-escaping --strategy token --observed all
Set up the engine first with scripts/engines/llamacpp.sh; this run used llamacpp a25c9865.
The fixture is line 10 of fixtures/kimi/k3-render.jsonl.
