This module subclasses the upstream ``Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration``
(native in ``transformers >= 5.7.0``) and adds two convenience methods β
:meth:`MarlinForConditionalGeneration.caption` and
:meth:`MarlinForConditionalGeneration.find` β that mirror moondream's
image-SDK ergonomics for video captioning and temporal grounding.
The forward pass is **not** modified: we only add chat-template + generate +
post-processing wrappers. Loading the model through
``AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(..., trust_remote_code=True)`` returns
this subclass thanks to the ``auto_map`` entry in ``config.json``.
