+"""TEMPORARY: restore ServerArgs.get_model_config for the pinned Dynamo wheel.
+
+The reviewed SGLang branch these recipes import moved model-config resolution
+out of ServerArgs, but the pinned Dynamo wheel still calls
+``server_args.get_model_config()`` while parsing worker arguments. Re-attach
+the accessor so the wheel keeps working against the newer source tree.
+
+This file is picked up because its directory is on PYTHONPATH, so it is
+imported by every interpreter in the job, including ones that never import
+SGLang. Failing to import SGLang there is expected and must stay silent.
+
+Remove this directory, its PYTHONPATH entry, and the rest of the temporary
+source override once the optimizations ship in the pinned image.
