+"""CPU-only regression for the quant-method normalization loops in save.py.
+
+`unsloth_save_pretrained_gguf` and `save_to_gguf_generic` each normalize the
+`quantization_method` list, mapping a ``None`` element to ``"q8_0"``. The mapping
+used to call ``quant_method.lower()`` as the first statement of the loop, so a
+``None`` element (e.g. ``quantization_method=[None]`` or ``["q4_k_m", None]``)
+raised ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'`` and the
+``elif quant_method is None`` branch was unreachable dead code.
+
+The loop is inline inside two heavy functions (importing unsloth needs
+unsloth_zoo / a GPU), so - like test_is_gpt_oss_detection.py - we extract just the
+loop source via ``ast`` and exec it against sample inputs. That exercises the real
+source: it fails on the old ordering and passes once ``None`` is handled first.
