Push to a New Hugging Face Space

1. 1.Log in: huggingface-cli login (stores your token locally).
2. 2.Create a Space (replace YOUR_USER):

   from huggingface_hub import HfApi
   api = HfApi()
   api.create_repo("YOUR_USER/dotsocr-space", repo_type="space", space_sdk="gradio")

1. 1.Upload this folder:

   api.upload_folder(
       repo_id="YOUR_USER/dotsocr-space",
       repo_type="space",
       folder_path="space_app"
   )

1. 1.In the Space settings UI, confirm hardware = Nvidia A10G - Small and Python = 3.12.
2. 2.Restart the Space and monitor the build logs; once green, test via the Space URL.
