## Title

    [llama.cpp convert_hf_to_gguf.py] "Model <Architecture> is not supported" - architecture not registered in the converter

## Body

    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):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/a97cce86a8addeb9f40cba7a261c94b1f0c576cb/convert_hf_to_gguf.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): main(): catches NotImplementedError and logs f"Model {model_architecture} is not supported"; --print-supported-models lists registered classes.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/a97cce86a8addeb9f40cba7a261c94b1f0c576cb/conversion/base.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): from_model_architecture raises NotImplementedError(f"Architecture {arch!r} not supported!").
    
    Search phrasings: convert_hf_to_gguf Model is not supported; llama.cpp convert architecture not supported; convert_hf_to_gguf print supported models
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
