feat(export): Add GGUF tokenizer metadata export

[DeshikReddy01]

Summary of Changes

• Added GGUF tokenizer metadata export functionality to convert UniqToken vocab and scores into LLaMA.cpp GGUF format (tokenizer.ggml.tokens, tokenizer.ggml.scores, tokenizer.ggml.token_type).
• Implemented unit tests in test_tokenizer.py to verify round-trip metadata and score extraction.

Related Issue

Closes #5

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added GGUF v3 export support for tokenizers, including metadata, token types, special-token IDs, and token scores.
  • Tokenizers can now save GGUF files directly or return exported binary data.
  • Added tools to inspect GGUF metadata and token scores.
  • Exposed GGUF functionality through the package’s public API.

• Validation

  • Added checks for malformed files, duplicate tokens, sparse token IDs, unsupported data, invalid token metadata, and invalid score values.

hi @DeshikReddy01, I pulled feat/gguf-export locally to verify: the GGUF binary layout is correct against the llama.cpp spec (header, KV encoding, type enums, token_type values all check out), the full test suite passes (163 passed, 5 skipped), and mypy is clean. The zero-dependency approach fits the project perfectly. Nicely done.
One blocker — all 12 CI failures have the same root cause. Every Test (Python X on Y) cell is failing at the Formatting (Ruff) step (ruff format --check .), before tests even run. Three of your touched files need reformatting:

• hf_exporter.py ,one over-collapsed raise ValueError(...) in extract_gguf_scores + trailing blank lines
• tokenizer.py, the export_to_gguf signature should be on one line
• test_tokenizer.py, extra blank lines at the end of the file

The fix is one command:
ruff format .
Push that and CI should go fully green, the failures are whitespace-only.

Two small optional notes (happy to take these as follow-ups):

1. extract_gguf_metadata doesn't bounds-check the payload, a truncated KV section raises struct.error instead of ValueError.
2. extract_gguf_scores silently deduplicates via dict(zip(tokens, scores)), harmless for self-produced files.

The PR adds GGUF v3 tokenizer metadata export, binary serialization, file output, metadata parsing, score extraction, token classification, validation tests, and public package exports.

Changes

GGUF tokenizer export

Layer / File(s)	Summary
GGUF metadata and binary serialization hf_exporter.py, tokenizer.py, test_tokenizer.py	Adds GGUF constants, token classification, metadata generation, binary serialization, file output, and CustomTokenizer.export_to_gguf. Tests cover export behavior and validation cases.
GGUF parsing and score extraction hf_exporter.py, test_tokenizer.py	Adds GGUF header, version, truncation, scalar, string, array, length, duplicate-token, and metadata-type validation.
Public exporter access __init__.py, uniqtoken/__init__.py, hf_exporter.py	Exports the GGUF exporter and metadata and score extraction helpers through module and package namespaces.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes
