This should've been closed as completed when #17163 was merged, no?

Hi,

I have encountered a very similar problem.

Problem occurs here: mattfreire/zig-llm@02836e2

To reproduce, run zig build run in example directory.

Output:

run
└─ run example
   └─ zig build-exe example Debug native 1 errors
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/zig/0.13.0/lib/zig/std/fmt.zig:632:21: error: cannot format slice without a specifier (i.e. {s} or {any})
                    @compileError("cannot format slice without a specifier (i.e. {s} or {any})");

    remaining reference traces hidden; use '-freference-trace' to see all reference traces

Reverting the latest commit (i.e. switching back to "{any}" fixes the issue) - but the problem is that zig is not pointing to the offending problem in the code.

Please let me know if this should be a new ticket.
