In the model manager, when a model is already in .gguf format, the system should prevent users from attempting to reconvert it using the same quantization. This is a redundant operation that would result in an identical file and wastes computational resources.
Current behavior:
Users can select a .gguf model and attempt to reconvert it with the same quantization
This leads to unnecessary processing and potential confusion
May result in duplicate files or overwrite the original file
Expected behavior:
When a .gguf model is selected, the conversion options should be intelligently filtered
If the current quantization level is already selected for conversion, it should be disabled or show a warning
UI should clearly indicate that reconversion with the same quantization is not necessary
Should prevent the conversion operation from proceeding in this case
Implementation requirements:
Detect when a model is already in .gguf format
Identify the current quantization level of the .gguf model
Disable or warn against reconversion with the same quantization
Provide clear user feedback about why the operation is blocked

The issue has been resolved. The server now rejects any conversion when the source file already contains ".gguf", which is stricter than the original requirement. See the implementation in src/server.cpp lines 3951‑3953.
