When does this happen?

IF Loading a pretrained custom model from a local file after it has been saved to multiple locations results in a config mismatch error because the `AutoConfig` entry in `auto_map` loses the repository prefix.

How others solved it

THEN Ensure that when saving a custom model with `trust_remote_code=True`, the full `auto_map` dictionary is preserved. The recommended fix is to upgrade to a version of transformers that includes the refactor (PR #37716) where custom code models save the code locally rather than referencing a remote repo. Alternatively, manually add the missing `_auto_class` field to the config before saving.

# To reproduce: save and load a custom model twice from different temp directories.
# After PR #37716, the issue is resolved. Upgrade transformers and use the standard save_pretrained/from_pretrained workflow.
