Ollama silently drops tool calls for functions not listed in tools

In Ollama 0.40.8 with qwen3:0.6b, a model calling a function absent from the request's tools list returns an empty reply with no content and no tool_calls, yet eval_count is 25. The generic template-based parser buffers the generated call and emits neither a call nor text; there is no upstream fix yet.
