+# Changes Summary - HF Spaces Scheduling Error Fix
+
+## What Was Wrong
+
+Your app was failing to deploy on Hugging Face Spaces with:
+- **Error:** "Scheduling failure: unable to schedule"
+- **Cause:** Multiple issues:
+  1. Conflicting entry point configuration
+  2. Requesting `t4-medium` GPU (often unavailable)
+  3. Heavy model preloading (~4.2GB)
+
+## What I Fixed
+
+### 1. Fixed `.huggingface.yaml`
+**Changed:**
+- ❌ Removed `app.entrypoint: services/ai-service/src/ai_med_extract/app:app`
+- ✅ Docker CMD now takes precedence (cleaner configuration)
+- ✅ Added comments about hardware alternatives
+
+**Why:** The `entrypoint` field was conflicting with the Dockerfile's CMD, causing confusion in how HF Spaces should start the app.
+
+### 2. Fixed `Dockerfile.hf-spaces`
+**Changed:**
+```dockerfile
+# Before:
+CMD ["uvicorn", "ai_med_extract.app:app", ...]
+
+# After:
+CMD ["uvicorn", "app:app", ...]
+```
+
+**Why:** The root `app.py` is specifically designed for HF Spaces with proper initialization and error handling.
+
+### 3. Created `Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal`
+**New file:** Lightweight alternative without model preloading
+- Uses `/tmp` for caching (HF Spaces compatible)
+- Single worker (minimal memory)
+- Fast startup (no model preloading)
+- Only ~2GB RAM needed vs ~16GB
+
+### 4. Created Documentation
+- `HF_SPACES_SCHEDULING_FIX.md` - Complete troubleshooting guide
+- `HF_SPACES_QUICK_FIX.md` - Quick reference card
+- `CHANGES_SUMMARY.md` - This file
+
+## What You Should Do Now
+
+### ⚡ FASTEST FIX (Recommended)
+
+1. **Edit `.huggingface.yaml`** - Use this configuration:
+
+```yaml
+runtime: docker
+sdk: docker
+python_version: "3.10"
+
+build:
+  dockerfile: Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal
+  cache: true
+
+# Remove hardware section to use free CPU tier
+  
+env:
+  - HF_SPACES=true
+  - FAST_MODE=true
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=false
+  - PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS=false
+```
+
+2. **Commit and push:**
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Fix HF Spaces deployment - use minimal config"
+git push
+```
+
+3. **Wait 5-10 minutes** for the build to complete
+
+4. **Test your space:**
+```bash
+curl https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE/health
+```
+
+### 🎮 Alternative: Keep GPU But Use t4-small
+
+If you need GPU and have access:
+
+```yaml
+runtime: docker
+sdk: docker
+
+build:
+  dockerfile: Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal
+  cache: true
+
+hardware:
+  gpu: t4-small  # More available than t4-medium
+  
+env:
+  - HF_SPACES=true
+  - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
+```
+
+### 🚀 Advanced: Full Model Preloading (If You Have Pro/Enterprise)
+
+Keep the current `Dockerfile.hf-spaces` with full model preloading, but:
+
+```yaml
+hardware:
+  gpu: t4-medium  # Requires Pro/Enterprise tier
+  
+env:
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=true  # Pre-cache models
+```
+
+Note: This requires ~20-30 minutes for first build, but subsequent starts are instant.

+```
+
+**My recommendation:** Start with **Minimal + CPU** to verify everything works, then upgrade to GPU if needed.
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+After deployment, verify these endpoints:
+
+```bash
+# Replace YOUR_SPACE with your actual space name
+SPACE_URL="https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE"
+
+# 1. Health check
+curl $SPACE_URL/health
+# Expected: {"status": "ok"}
+
+# 2. Readiness check  
+curl $SPACE_URL/health/ready
+# Expected: {"status": "ready"}
+
+# 3. Root endpoint
+curl $SPACE_URL/
+# Expected: {"message": "Medical AI Service", ...}
+
+# 4. API docs
+open $SPACE_URL/docs
+# Should show FastAPI Swagger UI
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Still getting scheduling error"
+- Check your HF account tier (Settings → Billing)
+- Try removing `hardware:` section entirely (use free CPU)
+- Check https://status.huggingface.co/ for platform issues
+
+### "Build succeeds but app crashes"
+- Check Space logs for Python errors
+- Test Docker image locally first:
+  ```bash
+  docker build -f Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal -t test .
+  docker run -p 7860:7860 -e HF_SPACES=true test
+  ```
+
+### "App starts but requests fail"
+- Models are downloading on first request (wait 2-3 min)
+- Check memory usage in Space settings
+- Consider enabling PRELOAD_GGUF if using GPU
+
+## Success Indicators
+
+Your Space logs should show:
+```
+✅ Starting Medical AI Service on Hugging Face Spaces
+✅ Detected Hugging Face Spaces environment
+✅ Creating FastAPI application for HF Spaces...
+✅ Application initialized successfully
+✅ Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:7860
+```

+# HF Spaces Scheduling Error - QUICK FIX
+
+## The Error
+```
+Scheduling failure: unable to schedule
+Container logs: Failed to retrieve error logs: SSE is not enabled
+```
+
+## Fastest Fix (5 minutes)
+
+### Option 1: CPU-Only Mode (Most Reliable) ⭐
+
+**Step 1:** Update `.huggingface.yaml`:
+```yaml
+runtime: docker
+sdk: docker
+python_version: "3.10"
+
+build:
+  dockerfile: Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal  # Use the minimal Dockerfile
+  cache: true
+
+# NO hardware section = uses free CPU tier
+  
+env:
+  - HF_SPACES=true
+  - FAST_MODE=true
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=false
+  - PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS=false
+```
+
+**Step 2:** Commit and push:
+```bash
+git add .huggingface.yaml
+git commit -m "Use CPU-only minimal config"
+git push
+```
+
+**Result:** Deploys in 5-10 minutes ✅
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: T4 Small GPU (If GPU Needed)
+
+**Step 1:** Update `.huggingface.yaml`:
+```yaml
+runtime: docker
+sdk: docker
+
+build:
+  dockerfile: Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal
+  cache: true
+
+hardware:
+  gpu: t4-small  # More available than t4-medium
+  
+env:
+  - HF_SPACES=true
+  - FAST_MODE=true
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=false
+  - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
+```
+
+**Step 2:** Commit and push:
+```bash
+git add .huggingface.yaml
+git commit -m "Use t4-small GPU"
+git push
+```
+
+**Result:** Deploys in 10-15 minutes if GPU available ✅
+
+---
+
+### Option 3: Keep Current Setup, Try Later
+
+Sometimes t4-medium GPUs are just temporarily unavailable.
+
+**Step 1:** Check HF Spaces status:
+- https://status.huggingface.co/
+
+**Step 2:** Wait 30-60 minutes and try again
+
+**Step 3:** Or request GPU access at:
+- https://huggingface.co/settings/billing
+
+---
+
+## Already Made These Fixes
+
+✅ Fixed `.huggingface.yaml` - removed conflicting entrypoint
+✅ Fixed `Dockerfile.hf-spaces` - correct CMD
+✅ Created `Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal` - lightweight option
+
+## Test After Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Replace YOUR_SPACE with your actual space name
+curl https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE/health
+
+# Should return:
+# {"status": "ok", "hf_spaces": true}
+```
+
+## Why This Happens
+
+1. **t4-medium GPUs** are in high demand → often unavailable
+2. **Hardware tier** might not be available in your account
+3. **Container too large** → timeout during scheduling
+
+## Success Indicators
+
+Watch for these in your Space logs:
+```
+✅ "Starting Medical AI Service on Hugging Face Spaces"
+✅ "FastAPI application started"
+✅ "Application initialized successfully"
+✅ "Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:7860"
+```
+
+## Still Not Working?
+
+1. **Check your HF account tier** - GPU access required for GPU hardware
+2. **Try the minimal config** - Uses least resources
+3. **Check HF Spaces status** - Platform issues?
+4. **Review build logs** - Look for specific errors
+
+## Support
+
+- HF Spaces Discord: https://discord.gg/hugging-face
+- HF Forum: https://discuss.huggingface.co/
+- Check status: https://status.huggingface.co/
+
+---
+
+**TL;DR:** Change `Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal` in `.huggingface.yaml` and remove the `hardware` section. Push. Wait 5 minutes. ✅

+# Hugging Face Spaces - "Scheduling failure: unable to schedule" Fix
+
+## Problem
+
+When deploying to Hugging Face Spaces, you're encountering:
+```
+Scheduling failure: unable to schedule
+Container logs: Failed to retrieve error logs: SSE is not enabled
+```
+
+## Root Causes & Solutions
+
+### 1. Hardware Availability Issue (Most Common)
+
+The `t4-medium` GPU might not be available in your region or tier.
+
+**Solution A: Try Different Hardware Tiers**
+
+Edit `.huggingface.yaml` and try these alternatives in order:
+
+```yaml
+# Option 1: T4 Small (often more available)
+hardware:
+  gpu: t4-small  # 8GB GPU RAM, 8GB System RAM
+
+# Option 2: CPU Upgrade (no GPU, but faster CPU)
+hardware:
+  cpu: upgrade  # More CPU power, no GPU
+
+# Option 3: Zero GPU (on-demand GPU)
+hardware:
+  gpu: zero  # GPU only when needed
+
+# Option 4: Remove hardware section entirely (uses free tier)
+# hardware:
+#   gpu: t4-medium
+```
+
+**Solution B: Request Hardware Access**
+
+If you need GPU but it's not available:
+1. Go to your HF account settings
+2. Check your hardware tier/subscription
+3. Request access to GPU hardware if needed
+4. Upgrade to Pro/Enterprise for better GPU availability
+
+### 2. Application Entry Point Mismatch
+
+**Fixed:** The `.huggingface.yaml` was specifying an `app.entrypoint` that conflicts with the Dockerfile CMD.
+
+**Changes Made:**
+- ✅ Removed `app.entrypoint` from `.huggingface.yaml` (Docker CMD takes precedence)
+- ✅ Updated Dockerfile CMD to use `app:app` (the HF Spaces-optimized entry point)
+
+### 3. Container Startup Failure
+
+The error "SSE is not enabled" suggests the container might be failing before the app starts.
+
+**Verification Steps:**
+
+1. **Test Locally First:**
+```bash
+# Build the HF Spaces Docker image locally
+docker build -f Dockerfile.hf-spaces -t hntai-hf-test .
+
+# Run it locally to verify it starts
+docker run -p 7860:7860 \
+  -e HF_SPACES=true \
+  -e HF_HOME=/app/.cache/huggingface \
+  hntai-hf-test
+
+# Test the health endpoint
+curl http://localhost:7860/health
+```
+
+2. **Check Logs in HF Spaces:**
+- Go to your Space settings
+- Click on "Logs" tab
+- Look for error messages during startup
+- Common issues:
+  - Out of memory during model loading
+  - Missing dependencies
+  - Python import errors
+
+### 4. Resource Requirements Too High
+
+The current configuration tries to preload multiple large models (~4.2GB).
+
+**Solution: Reduce Memory Footprint**
+
+Edit `Dockerfile.hf-spaces` to disable model preloading:
+
+```dockerfile
+# Comment out the model preloading stage
+# FROM builder AS model-cache
+# ... (comment out the entire section)
+
+# In the final stage, set PRELOAD_GGUF to false
+ENV PRELOAD_GGUF=false \
+    PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS=false \
+    FAST_MODE=true
+```
+
+Or edit `.huggingface.yaml`:
+```yaml
+env:
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=false
+  - PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS=false
+  - FAST_MODE=true
+```
+
+## Complete Fixed Configuration
+
+### `.huggingface.yaml` (Fixed)
+```yaml
+runtime: docker
+sdk: docker
+python_version: "3.10"
+
+build:
+  dockerfile: Dockerfile.hf-spaces
+  cache: true
+
+# Try these hardware options in order
+hardware:
+  gpu: t4-small  # Start with t4-small for better availability
+  
+env:
+  - SPACE_ID=$SPACE_ID
+  - HF_HOME=/app/.cache/huggingface
+  - TORCH_HOME=/app/.cache/torch
+  - MODEL_CACHE_DIR=/app/models
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=false  # Disable for faster startup
+  - PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS=false  # Disable for faster startup
+  - FAST_MODE=true  # Enable fast mode
+  - HF_SPACES=true
+  - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
+  - PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=max_split_size_mb:128
+```
+
+### Dockerfile.hf-spaces (Fixed)
+```dockerfile
+# Start the application
+CMD ["uvicorn", "app:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "7860", "--workers", "1"]
+```
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### Option 1: Quick Fix (Recommended First Try)
+
+1. **Use CPU-only mode for faster deployment:**
+```yaml
+# .huggingface.yaml
+# Comment out the hardware section
+# hardware:
+#   gpu: t4-medium
+
+env:
+  - FAST_MODE=true
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=false
+  - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=""  # Disable GPU
+```
+
+2. **Commit and push:**
+```bash
+git add .huggingface.yaml
+git commit -m "Fix HF Spaces scheduling - use CPU mode"
+git push
+```
+
+### Option 2: GPU with Minimal Models
+
+1. **Reduce model preloading:**
+```bash
+# Edit preload_models.py to only load essential models
+# Comment out large models (google/flan-t5-large, etc.)
+```
+
+2. **Use t4-small instead of t4-medium:**
+```yaml
+hardware:
+  gpu: t4-small
+```
+
+3. **Commit and push:**
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Optimize for t4-small GPU"
+git push
+```
+
+### Option 3: Full GPU with Pre-cached Models
+
+1. **Ensure you have GPU access in your HF account**
+2. **Wait for t4-medium availability** (can take hours/days)
+3. **Monitor space status** in HF Spaces dashboard
+
+## Troubleshooting Checklist
+
+- [ ] Check HF account GPU tier/subscription
+- [ ] Try t4-small instead of t4-medium
+- [ ] Try CPU mode (remove hardware section)
+- [ ] Disable model preloading (PRELOAD_GGUF=false)
+- [ ] Test Docker image locally
+- [ ] Check Space logs for errors
+- [ ] Verify requirements.txt has all dependencies
+- [ ] Ensure app.py is in the root directory
+- [ ] Check that PYTHONPATH is set correctly
+- [ ] Verify port 7860 is exposed
+
+## Common Error Messages & Solutions
+
+### "Scheduling failure: unable to schedule"
+- **Cause**: Hardware tier unavailable
+- **Fix**: Change to t4-small or CPU-only mode
+
+### "Failed to retrieve error logs: SSE is not enabled"
+- **Cause**: Container failed before app started
+- **Fix**: Check startup logs, reduce memory usage
+
+### "Container build timeout"
+- **Cause**: Model downloading takes too long
+- **Fix**: Reduce models in preload_models.py
+
+### "CUDA out of memory"
+- **Cause**: Models too large for GPU
+- **Fix**: Use smaller models or CPU mode
+
+## Verification After Fix
+
+Once deployed, verify:
+
+```bash
+# Check health endpoint
+curl https://YOUR_SPACE_NAME.hf.space/health
+
+# Check if app is ready
+curl https://YOUR_SPACE_NAME.hf.space/health/ready
+
+# Test a simple endpoint
+curl https://YOUR_SPACE_NAME.hf.space/
+```
+
+Expected response:
+```json
+{
+  "message": "Medical AI Service",
+  "status": "running",
+  "hf_spaces": true
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Wins for Immediate Deployment
+
+If you just want to get it running ASAP:
+
+1. **Remove hardware requirements entirely (use free CPU tier):**
+```yaml
+# .huggingface.yaml
+runtime: docker
+sdk: docker
+
+build:
+  dockerfile: Dockerfile.hf-spaces
+  
+env:
+  - HF_SPACES=true
+  - FAST_MODE=true
+  - PRELOAD_GGUF=false
+  - PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS=false
+```
+
+2. **Create a simpler Dockerfile.hf-spaces-minimal:**
+```dockerfile
+FROM python:3.11-slim
+
+WORKDIR /app
+
+# Copy app files
+COPY requirements.txt .
+RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt uvicorn[standard]
+
+COPY . .
+
+ENV PYTHONPATH=/app/services/ai-service/src:$PYTHONPATH \
+    HF_SPACES=true \
+    FAST_MODE=true \
+    PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS=false
+
+EXPOSE 7860
+
+CMD ["uvicorn", "app:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "7860"]
+```
+
+3. **Update .huggingface.yaml to use the minimal Dockerfile:**

+# Deployment Fix for "Scheduling failure: unable to schedule" Error
+
+## Problem Identified
+
+The deployment was failing with a "Scheduling failure: unable to schedule" error because the **Dockerfile.prod** was configured to use **Gunicorn with WSGI**, but the application is built with **FastAPI which requires ASGI**.
+
+### Root Cause
+- **FastAPI** is an ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface) framework
+- **Gunicorn** was running in WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) mode
+- This fundamental incompatibility caused the container to fail to start properly
+- SSE (Server-Sent Events) requires ASGI support for proper streaming
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+### Changed: `Dockerfile.prod`
+
+**Before:**
+```dockerfile
+RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r /app/requirements.txt gunicorn
+CMD ["gunicorn", "-w", "4", "-b", "0.0.0.0:7860", "--timeout", "600", "wsgi:app"]
+```
+
+**After:**
+```dockerfile
+RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r /app/requirements.txt uvicorn[standard]
+CMD ["uvicorn", "app:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "7860", "--timeout-keep-alive", "600", "--workers", "4"]
+```
+
+### Why This Works
+1. **uvicorn** is a proper ASGI server that supports FastAPI
+2. Enables SSE (Server-Sent Events) for streaming responses
+3. Supports async/await patterns used throughout the codebase
+4. Provides better performance for async applications
+
+## Additional Recommendations
+
+### 1. Kubernetes Resource Allocation
+
+Review your cluster's available resources. The deployment requires:
+```yaml
+resources:
+  requests:
+    cpu: "500m"
+    memory: "2Gi"
+  limits:
+    cpu: "2000m"
+    memory: "4Gi"
+```
+
+**Verification Steps:**
+```bash
+# Check available cluster resources
+kubectl describe nodes
+
+# Check if pods are pending
+kubectl get pods -n medical-ai
+
+# Check pod events for scheduling issues
+kubectl describe pod <pod-name> -n medical-ai
+```
+
+### 2. Alternative ASGI Server Options
+
+If you need more production-grade deployment with multiple workers:
+
+#### Option A: Gunicorn with Uvicorn Workers (Recommended for Production)
+```dockerfile
+RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r /app/requirements.txt gunicorn uvicorn[standard]
+CMD ["gunicorn", "app:app", "--workers", "4", "--worker-class", "uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:7860", "--timeout", "600"]
+```
+
+#### Option B: Pure Uvicorn (Current, Good for Medium Load)
+```dockerfile
+CMD ["uvicorn", "app:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "7860", "--timeout-keep-alive", "600", "--workers", "4"]
+```
+
+### 3. Health Check Configuration
+
+Ensure your health endpoints are accessible:
+- **Liveness Probe:** `/health/live`
+- **Readiness Probe:** `/health/ready`
+
+The delays in `k8s/deployment.yaml` are appropriate:
+- `initialDelaySeconds: 20` for readiness
+- `initialDelaySeconds: 30` for liveness
+
+### 4. Environment Variables to Set
+
+For optimal performance in Kubernetes:
+```yaml
+env:
+  - name: PRELOAD_SMALL_MODELS
+    value: "false"  # Set to true if you want faster first-request
+  - name: FAST_MODE
+    value: "false"
+  - name: ENABLE_BATCHING
+    value: "true"
+  - name: INFERENCE_MAX_WORKERS
+    value: "4"
+  - name: HF_HOME
+    value: "/tmp/huggingface"
+```
+
+### 5. Rebuild and Redeploy
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild the Docker image
+docker build -f services/ai-service/Dockerfile.prod -t your-registry/ai-service:latest .
+
+# Push to registry
+docker push your-registry/ai-service:latest
+
+# Update Kubernetes deployment
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/ai-service -n medical-ai
+
+# Monitor rollout
+kubectl rollout status deployment/ai-service -n medical-ai
+
+# Check logs
+kubectl logs -f deployment/ai-service -n medical-ai
+```
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+After deploying the fix:
+
+1. **Check Pod Status:**
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n medical-ai -w
+```
+
+2. **Verify Container Logs:**
+```bash
+kubectl logs -f <pod-name> -n medical-ai
+```
+
+3. **Test Health Endpoints:**
+```bash
+kubectl port-forward svc/ai-service 7860:80 -n medical-ai
+curl http://localhost:7860/health/ready
+curl http://localhost:7860/health/live
+```
+
+4. **Test SSE Streaming:**
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:7860/api/v1/patient-summary/stream/<job-id>
+```
+
+## Expected Results
+
+After applying this fix:
+- ✅ Container should start successfully
+- ✅ Pods should transition to "Running" state
+- ✅ Health checks should pass
+- ✅ SSE streaming should work properly
+- ✅ No more "Scheduling failure" errors
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### If pods still don't schedule:
+1. Check cluster resource availability
+2. Verify node selectors and taints
+3. Check if persistent volumes are available
+4. Review network policies
+
+### If container crashes on startup:
+1. Check application logs: `kubectl logs <pod-name> -n medical-ai`
+2. Verify environment variables are set correctly
+3. Ensure DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL are accessible (if configured)
+4. Check that the requirements.txt includes all necessary dependencies
