Cause (Documented platform behavior): get_model_class raises NotImplementedError("Architecture ... not supported!") when the architecture key is missing; main() converts that into the log + exit.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Exact error is a format string; full message is "Model <arch> is not supported".
- exact string is generic; match together with product/context
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Script logs "Model XForCausalLM is not supported" and exits 1.
- Context
- Product: llama.cpp Component: convert_hf_to_gguf.py model registry Operation: Converting a Hugging Face model whose config.json architectures[0] is not registered Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: llama.cpp (convert_hf_to_gguf.py / gguf-py) master at pinned SHA Trigger: config.json architectures value has no ModelBase subclass registered (new arch, custom/remote-code arch, or a vision/mmproj arch without --mmproj).

Proposed fix: [llama.cpp convert_hf_to_gguf.py] "Model <Architecture> is not supported" - architecture not registered in the converter
Recommended action: Run --print-supported-models; update llama.cpp; if the model is a fine-tune of a supported base with a renamed architectures entry, fix config.json; otherwise conversion requires upstream support.
