Cause (Documented platform behavior): Converter compares tensor names in index weight_map vs tensors found in parts.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Mismatch between weight map and model parts for tensor names:

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [llama.cpp convert_hf_to_gguf.py] "Missing or incomplete model files" / "Mismatch between weight map and model parts" - partial safetensors download
Recommended action: Re-download all shards (huggingface-cli download / snapshot_download) at one revision and verify sizes; delete stale shards from other revisions.
