## 🚀 How to Deploy

### Step 1: Setup GitHub Secrets

1. Go to https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
2. Create a new token with **WRITE** access
3. Copy the token
4. Go to https://github.com/Anamitra-Sarkar/chest_disease/settings/secrets/actions
5. Click "New repository secret"
6. Name: `HF_TOKEN`
7. Value: Paste your token
8. Click "Add secret"

### Step 2: Setup Hugging Face Space

1. Go to https://huggingface.co/spaces/Arko007/chest-disease/settings
2. Add environment variable:
   - Name: `GROQ_API_KEY`
   - Value: Your Groq API key
   - Check "Secret" ✅
3. Save

### Step 3: Deploy!

Simply push to main:
```bash
git push origin main
```

That's it! GitHub Actions will automatically:
1. Clone your repo
2. Push to HuggingFace Space
3. HF will rebuild the Docker container
4. Backend will be live!

## 🔍 Verification

### GitHub Actions
- Visit: https://github.com/Anamitra-Sarkar/chest_disease/actions
- Look for "Sync to Hugging Face Space" workflow
- Should show green checkmark ✅

### Hugging Face Space
- Visit: https://huggingface.co/spaces/Arko007/chest-disease
- Wait for build to complete (may take 5-10 minutes)
- Check "Logs" tab if any issues

### Test API Endpoints

**Health Check:**
```bash
curl https://arko007-chest-disease.hf.space/health
```

Expected response:
```json
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "model_loaded": true,
  "device": "cpu"
}
```

**Image Analysis:**
```bash
curl -X POST https://arko007-chest-disease.hf.space/api/chat \
  -F "image=@chest_xray.jpg" \
  -F "message=Analyze this X-ray"
```

## 🎯 Technical Details

### Architecture
```
GitHub Repository (main branch)
    ↓ (on push)
GitHub Actions Workflow
    ↓ (git push)
HuggingFace Space Repository
    ↓ (automatic)
Docker Build
    ↓ (downloads model from HF Hub)
    ↓ (installs dependencies)
    ↓ (starts FastAPI server)
Live Backend on port 7860
```

### Model Loading
- Model repo: `Arko007/chexpert-cnn-from-scratch`
- Model file: `epoch_001_mAUROC_0.486525.pth`
- Downloaded during Docker build (not at runtime)
- Loaded at app startup

### Environment Variables
- `GROQ_API_KEY` - For LLM interpretation (required for chat)
- `MODEL_PATH` - Defaults to `epoch_001_mAUROC_0.486525.pth`
- `INFERENCE_DEVICE` - Defaults to `cpu`
- `PORT` - Defaults to `7860` (HF Spaces standard)

### Port Configuration
- HF Spaces uses port **7860** by default
- Backend automatically reads from `PORT` env var
- No hardcoded ports anywhere

## ⚠️ Important Notes

### GROQ_API_KEY
- The LLM chat features won't work without this key
- Image analysis (model inference) will still work
- You mentioned you'll set this later - that's fine!
- Backend will start successfully without it

### Model File
- Model is automatically downloaded during build
- No need to manually upload or include in repo
- Downloaded from HuggingFace Hub
- File size: ~18MB (included in *.pth gitignore)

### Build Time
- First build may take 5-10 minutes
- Model download happens during build
- Subsequent builds use Docker layer caching
- Faster rebuilds (~2-3 minutes)

### Cold Starts
- HF Spaces may hibernate after inactivity
- First request after hibernation may be slower
- Model is already loaded (loaded at startup)
- Typical cold start: ~30-60 seconds

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### GitHub Actions Fails

**Error: "HF_TOKEN is not set"**
```
Solution: Add HF_TOKEN to GitHub Actions secrets
Location: https://github.com/Anamitra-Sarkar/chest_disease/settings/secrets/actions
```

**Error: "Permission denied"**
```
Solution: HF token needs WRITE access, not just READ
Create new token: https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
```

### HuggingFace Build Fails

**Check logs:**
1. Go to https://huggingface.co/spaces/Arko007/chest-disease
2. Click "Logs" tab
3. Look for error messages

**Common issues:**
- Model download failed → Check HF Hub connectivity
- Port conflict → HF uses 7860, should work automatically
- Memory issues → Free tier has 16GB RAM limit

### Backend Not Starting

**Model loading issue:**
```
Check logs for: "Model file not found"
Solution: Model should download during build
If failed, rebuild the Space
```

**Port binding issue:**
```
Check logs for: "Address already in use"
Solution: Restart the Space
```

## ✅ Success Checklist

Deployment is successful when:
- [x] GitHub Actions workflow completes (green ✅)
- [x] HF Space shows "Running" status
- [x] `/health` endpoint returns 200 OK
- [x] Response shows `"model_loaded": true`
- [x] Backend responds on port 7860

## 📊 What Changed in the Code

### Before (Railway/Vercel)
```dockerfile
# Old Dockerfile
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["python", "-m", "uvicorn", "backend.main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000"]
```

### After (HuggingFace Spaces)
```dockerfile
# New Dockerfile
EXPOSE 7860
CMD python -m uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port ${PORT:-7860}
```

### Key Differences
1. **Entrypoint**: Changed from `backend.main:app` to `app:app`
2. **Port**: Changed from fixed `8000` to dynamic `${PORT:-7860}`
3. **Model**: Now downloads automatically from HF Hub
4. **README**: Added HF metadata in README_HF.md
