Where. docs/usermanuals/en/deployment/deploy-targets.md:144-154 (Turkish mirror: docs/usermanuals/tr/deployment/deploy-targets.md:152-154) · type: false claim

The document says. The 'What's auto-detected' table covers chat template, stop tokens, max_model_len from model.max_length, quantisation and tensor parallelism; 'You can override any auto-detection with explicit YAML'.

What the code does. generate_deploy_config inspects nothing: no tokenizer, config, GPU or training YAML (deploy.py:218-330). max length comes from --max-length (default 4096). Deploy takes no YAML, as line 127 of the same page says. The flag table (lines 139-142) also omits the real knobs: --system, --max-length, --gpu-memory-utilization, --port, --trust-remote-code, --vendor and --output-format.

Code references. forgelm/deploy.py:218-330, forgelm/cli/subcommands/_deploy.py:16-26

User impact. Users rely on detection that never happens and miss the flags that do exist.

Proposed correction. Delete the table and the YAML sentence. List all deploy flags with their defaults (--max-length 4096, --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90, --port 8080, --vendor aws, --system, --trust-remote-code).
