Summary

• Use buffered ignore() for GGUF metadata skips up to 64 KiB to avoid repeated seeks when parsing tokenizer string arrays.
• Keep seekg() for larger skips and preserve existing bounds checks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • File reading now uses a different method for skipping smaller sections, while larger skips continue to use seeking. Existing stream checks and byte tracking are unchanged.
  • This is an internal processing change; no user-facing features or behavior are reported as changing.

Walkthrough

GGUFReader::safe_skip now uses ifstream::ignore for skips up to 64 KiB. Larger skips continue to use seekg. The existing stream-state check and byte accounting remain unchanged.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the required Summary, Related Issue / Discussion, Additional Information, and Checklist sections. It explains the change, motivation, scope, linked issue, and verification context sufficiently.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #2218 requires buffered skipping for small GGUF metadata values and seeking for large values. The PR changes GGUFReader::safe_skip to use fin.ignore() for sizes up to 64 KiB and seekg() above 64 KiB. The existing bounds check and stream-state check remain in both paths. skip_metadata_values() uses safe_skip() for metadata strings and arrays. No unmet coding requirement is shown.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The diff changes only src/model_io/gguf_reader_ext.h and only the skip operation in GGUFReader::safe_skip. The change directly supports issue #2218. No unrelated behavior or files are present in the reviewed diff.
