## Title

    [llama-server router mode] "model name is missing from the request" / "model 'X' not found" / "model is not loaded"

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): In router mode the router forwards by model name; missing/unknown names are rejected, and without autoload unloaded models are refused.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/a97cce86a8addeb9f40cba7a261c94b1f0c576cb/tools/server/server-models.cpp (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): router_validate_model returns these three errors.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/a97cce86a8addeb9f40cba7a261c94b1f0c576cb/tools/server/README.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): README router mode: model field required, ?model= for GET endpoints, 400 when missing, --models-autoload default enabled and ?autoload per request.
    
    Search phrasings: llama-server router mode model name is missing from the request; llama-server multiple models model not found; llama.cpp router model is not loaded autoload
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
