## Title

    Proposed fix: [Outlines 1.x] API-backed models reject regex/CFG output types: "Neither regex-based structured outputs nor the `pattern` keyword in Json Schema are available with OpenAI"

## Body

    Recommended action: Use a steerable local model (transformers, llama.cpp, vLLM offline) for regex/CFG constraints, or rewrite the constraint as a plain JSON schema without pattern and validate afterwards.
    
    Option: Use a steerable local model for regex/CFG [evidence: documented_workaround]
    Applies when: Regex/grammar constraints
    Steps:
    1. model = outlines.from_transformers(...) or from_llamacpp(...)
    2. generator = outlines.Generator(model, Regex(r"...") )
    Expected: Constraint enforced during decoding
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
