* fix: handle gemma3 showing a lot of no content for turn 0

* fix: remove unknown config from examples

* fix: test

* fix: temporary disable gemma2 test

* fix: stop overwriting config.text_config unnecessarily

* fix: handling of set cache to the text_config section

* feat: add liger gemma support and bump liger to 0.5.5

* fix: add double use_cache setting

* fix: add support for final_logit_softcap in CCE for gemma2/3

* fix: set use_cache before model load

* feat: add missing layernorm override

* fix: handle gemma3 rmsnorm

* fix: use wrapper to pass dim as hidden_size

* fix: change dim to positional

* fix: patch with wrong mlp

* chore: refactor use_cache handling

* fix import issues

* fix tests.e2e.utils import
