19. In your GitHub repo, make a small change (e.g., edit README.md)
20. Commit to main branch:

git add .
git commit -m "Initial deployment setup"
git push origin main

Step 2: Monitor Deployment

22. Watch the "Deploy to HF Spaces (on main)" workflow
23. Verify it completes successfully (green checkmark)

Step 3: Test Your Space

24. Go to your HF Space URL: https://your-username-your-space.hf.space
25. Wait for the app to build (first time takes 5-10 minutes)
26. Test basic functionality:
    • Enter a text prompt
    • Generate an image
    • Check that the interface loads properly

Phase 4.E: Production Workflow

For Future Updates

• Create feature branches for new development
• Test changes locally: streamlit run src/ui/compi_phase3_final_dashboard.py
• Open Pull Request to main
• Merge PR → Automatic deployment to HF Space

Rollback Process

• If deployment breaks, revert the commit on main
• GitHub Actions will automatically redeploy the previous version

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Space won't start: Check the build logs in HF Space → Logs
• GitHub Action fails: Check repo secrets are set correctly
• App crashes: Verify app_file path in Space README is correct
• Missing dependencies: Check requirements.txt and packages.txt
