Convert to pure custom Docker deployment for Hugging Face

This commit refactors the repository to focus exclusively on custom Docker
deployment, removing HF Inference Endpoint handler approach.

Changes:
- Remove handler.py and test_local.py (HF handler approach)
- Add Dockerfile with CUDA 12.9 support
- Add app.py with FastAPI server and VRAM-aware concurrency control
- Add requirements.txt with proper dependency management
- Fix .gitattributes to only track large model files in LFS
- Update README.md with comprehensive Docker deployment guide
- Add sam.code-workspace to .gitignore

The new setup provides:
- Optimized for 1920x1080 images on L4/A10G GPUs
- Automatic VRAM management for concurrent requests
- Health check endpoints with VRAM monitoring
- Scale-to-zero support on Hugging Face Endpoints

-# SAM 3
+# Segment Anything 3 – Custom Docker Deployment
+
+This repository provides a **custom Docker image** for SAM3 text-prompted segmentation,
+deployable on Hugging Face Inference Endpoints or any Docker-compatible platform.
+
+## Features
+
+- **SAM3** (Segment Anything Model 3) with text-prompted segmentation
+- **FastAPI** server with HF-compatible API
+- **GPU-accelerated** inference (CUDA 12.9)
+- **VRAM-aware** concurrency control for large images
+- **Scale-to-zero** support on Hugging Face Endpoints
+- Optimized for **1920×1080** images on A10/L4 GPUs
+
+## Quick Deploy on Hugging Face
 
-## Input
+### Option 1: Pre-built Docker Image (Fastest)
+
+1. Build and push your Docker image:
+   ```bash
+   docker build -t yourusername/sam3:latest .
+   docker push yourusername/sam3:latest
+   ```
+
+2. Create Inference Endpoint at https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints
+   - Choose **Custom Docker Image**
+   - Image: `yourusername/sam3:latest`
+   - Hardware: **L4** or **A10G** (recommended)
+   - Min replicas: **0** (scale-to-zero)
+   - Max replicas: **5**
+
+### Option 2: Build from Repository
+
+1. Upload this repository to Hugging Face
+2. Create endpoint pointing to your repo
+3. HF will build the Docker image (takes ~5-10 min first time)
+
+## API
+
+### Input
 
 ```json
 {
-  "inputs": "<image_base64_or_url>",
-  "parameters": {
-    "classes": ["pothole", "marking"]
-  }
+  "inputs": "<base64_image>",
+  "parameters": { "classes": ["pothole", "marking"] }
 }
 ```
 
-
-## Output
+### Output
 
 ```json
 [
-  {
-    "label": "pothole",
-    "mask": "<base64_png>",
-    "score": 1.0
-  }
+  { "label": "pothole", "mask": "...", "score": 1.0 }
 ]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Local Development & Testing
+
+### Build and Run Locally
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image
+docker build -t sam3:latest .
+
+# Run locally with GPU
+docker run --gpus all -p 7860:7860 sam3:latest
+
+# Run without GPU (CPU mode - slower)
+docker run -p 7860:7860 sam3:latest
+```
+
+### Test the API
+
+Using the included test script:
+```bash
+python test_remote.py
+```
 
-```
+Or with curl:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7860 \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "inputs": "<base64_encoded_image>",
+    "parameters": {"classes": ["pothole", "marking"]}
+  }'
+```
+
+Check health:
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:7860/health
+```

+## Production Deployment Tips
+
+### Docker Registry Workflow
+
+For fastest deployment, pre-build and push to Docker Hub:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t yourusername/sam3:latest .
+docker login
+docker push yourusername/sam3:latest
+```
+
+Then use `yourusername/sam3:latest` when creating your HF Endpoint.
+
+### Performance Expectations
+
+- **Image size:** 1920×1080
+- **Inference time:** 5-10 seconds
+- **VRAM usage:** 8-12GB per inference
+- **Recommended GPU:** L4 (24GB) or A10G (24GB)
+- **Max concurrent:** 1-2 requests (automatically managed)
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+- **GPU not detected**: Ensure `--gpus all` flag is used with Docker
+- **Out of memory**: The app automatically manages VRAM. If issues persist, reduce image resolution
+- **Model loading fails**: Verify Git LFS pulled all files (`git lfs pull`)
+- **API timeout**: Increase timeout in endpoint config (recommend 300s for large images)
+- **Slow inference**: First request is slower due to model warmup (~10s), subsequent requests are faster
+
+### Health Check
+
+The `/health` endpoint provides VRAM status:
+```bash
+curl http://your-endpoint/health
+```
+
+Returns:
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "gpu_available": true,
+  "vram": {
+    "total_gb": 24.0,
+    "allocated_gb": 6.8,
+    "free_gb": 17.2,
+    "max_concurrent": 2,
+    "processing_now": 0
+  }
+}
+```
