Fix: Ensure models train during HF build + Fix RAG pipeline loading

- Created app.py entry point that trains models if they don't exist
- Updated README.md to use new app_file path
- Fixed RAG pipeline import paths for HF compatibility
- Added build.py and start_dashboard.py helper scripts
- Added comprehensive deployment documentation

This fixes the 'Models Not Loaded' and 'AI Q&A Inactive' errors on Hugging Face Spaces.

+# Hugging Face Spaces Deployment Guide
+
+## Current Issue Diagnosis
+
+Based on the error screenshot showing "Models: ❌ Not Loaded" and "AI Q&A: ❌ Inactive", the issue is that **models are not being trained during the Hugging Face build process**.
+
+## Solution
+
+### 1. **Updated Files**
+The following files have been updated to fix the deployment:
+
+- **`README.md`**: Changed `app_file` from `fmcg_genai/src/dashboard_app_enhanced.py` to `fmcg_genai/app.py`
+- **`fmcg_genai/app.py`**: New entry point that ensures models are trained before launching dashboard
+- **`fmcg_genai/src/dashboard_app.py`**: Fixed RAG pipeline import paths for better compatibility
+
+### 2. **How It Works**
+
+The new `app.py` entry point:
+1. Checks if models exist (`prophet.pkl`, `xgboost_sales.pkl`)
+2. Checks if vector store exists (`faiss_index.bin`)
+3. If missing, runs `run_pipeline.py` to train models (takes ~5-10 minutes on first build)
+4. Then launches the dashboard
+
+### 3. **Deployment Steps**
+
+#### Option A: Push to Hugging Face (Recommended)
+```bash
+# From the project root
+cd c:\Users\91880\Downloads\archive\fmcg_demand_forecasting
+
+# Add all changes
+git add .
+
+# Commit with a clear message
+git commit -m "Fix: Ensure models are trained during HF build process"
+
+# Push to Hugging Face
+git push
+```
+
+#### Option B: Manual Rebuild on Hugging Face
+1. Go to your Hugging Face Space settings
+2. Click "Factory reboot" to trigger a fresh build
+3. The new `app.py` will run and train models automatically
+
+### 4. **Expected Build Time**
+
+- **First build**: ~10-15 minutes (includes model training)
+- **Subsequent builds**: ~2-3 minutes (models are cached)
+
+### 5. **Verification**
+
+After deployment, you should see:
+- ✅ Models: Loaded
+- ✅ AI Q&A: Active
+- Dashboard loads without "Could not load data" error
+
+### 6. **Troubleshooting**
+
+If the build fails:
+
+1. **Check build logs** on Hugging Face Spaces
+2. **Common issues**:
+   - Out of memory: Reduce batch size in `config.yaml`
+   - Timeout: Models take too long to train (HF has 1-hour build limit)
+   - Missing dependencies: Check `requirements.txt`
+
+3. **Quick fix**: If build times out, you can:
+   - Train models locally
+   - Upload trained models to Hugging Face using Git LFS
+   - Skip training in `app.py`
+
+### 7. **Git LFS Setup (If Needed)**
+
+If you want to commit trained models instead of training during build:
+
+```bash
+# Install Git LFS
+git lfs install
+
+# Track large model files
+git lfs track "fmcg_genai/models/*.pkl"
+git lfs track "fmcg_genai/vector_store/*.bin"
+git lfs track "fmcg_genai/vector_store/*.pkl"
+
+# Add .gitattributes
+git add .gitattributes
+
+# Commit and push
+git add fmcg_genai/models/* fmcg_genai/vector_store/*
+git commit -m "Add pre-trained models via Git LFS"
+git push
+```
+
+Then modify `app.py` to skip training if models exist.
+
+## Summary
+
+The main fix is the new `app.py` entry point that ensures models are trained during the Hugging Face build process. Push the changes and rebuild your Space to fix the issue.

+# FMCG Dashboard - Issue Diagnosis & Fix Summary
+
+## 🔍 **What Was Wrong**
+
+### Issue 1: Models Not Training During Build
+**Problem**: The Hugging Face Space was trying to load pre-trained models that don't exist in the repository.
+
+**Root Cause**: 
+- The `app_file` in README.md pointed directly to `dashboard_app_enhanced.py`
+- This file expects models to already exist
+- Models were never trained during the HF build process
+- Result: "Models: ❌ Not Loaded" error
+
+### Issue 2: RAG Pipeline Not Loading
+**Problem**: Even though vector store files exist locally, they weren't being created on HF deployment.
+
+**Root Cause**:
+- Vector store is generated by `run_pipeline.py`
+- This script was never executed during HF build
+- Import path issues in `dashboard_app.py` (hardcoded `from src.rag_pipeline`)
+- Result: "AI Q&A: ❌ Inactive" error
+
+### Issue 3: Data Loading Error
+**Problem**: "Could not load data. Please ensure data preprocessing has been completed."
+
+**Root Cause**:
+- Processed data files are generated by `run_pipeline.py`
+- Without running the pipeline, `data/processed/cleaned.csv` doesn't exist on HF
+- Dashboard can't load non-existent files
+
+## ✅ **What Was Fixed**
+
+### Fix 1: Created `app.py` Entry Point
+**File**: `fmcg_genai/app.py`
+
+**What it does**:
+```python
+1. Checks if models exist (prophet.pkl, xgboost_sales.pkl)
+2. Checks if vector store exists (faiss_index.bin)
+3. If missing → runs run_pipeline.py to train everything
+4. Then launches the dashboard
+```
+
+**Impact**: Models are now trained automatically during HF build
+
+### Fix 2: Updated README.md
+**Change**: `app_file: fmcg_genai/src/dashboard_app_enhanced.py` → `app_file: fmcg_genai/app.py`
+
+**Impact**: HF Spaces now uses the new entry point that handles model training
+
+### Fix 3: Fixed RAG Pipeline Import
+**File**: `fmcg_genai/src/dashboard_app.py`
+
+**Changes**:
+- Added fallback import paths for RAG pipeline
+- Better error logging
+- Handles both local and HF deployment paths
+
+**Impact**: RAG pipeline loads correctly regardless of deployment environment
+
+### Fix 4: Created Helper Scripts
+**Files**:
+- `build.py`: For local builds, checks if models need training
+- `start_dashboard.py`: For local testing, validates environment
+- `DEPLOYMENT.md`: Comprehensive deployment guide
+
+## 📋 **Deployment Checklist**
+
+- [x] Created `app.py` entry point with model training logic
+- [x] Updated `README.md` to use new app_file
+- [x] Fixed RAG pipeline import paths
+- [x] Added comprehensive error logging
+- [x] Created deployment documentation
+
+## 🚀 **Next Steps**
+
+### To Deploy to Hugging Face:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Navigate to project root
+cd c:\Users\91880\Downloads\archive\fmcg_demand_forecasting
+
+# 2. Stage all changes
+git add .
+
+# 3. Commit with descriptive message
+git commit -m "Fix: Ensure models train during HF build + Fix RAG pipeline loading"
+
+# 4. Push to Hugging Face
+git push
+```
+
+### Expected Outcome:
+
+After pushing and HF rebuilds:
+1. ✅ Build takes ~10-15 minutes (first time)
+2. ✅ Models are trained automatically
+3. ✅ Vector store is created
+4. ✅ Dashboard shows "Models: ✅ Loaded"
+5. ✅ Dashboard shows "AI Q&A: ✅ Active"
+6. ✅ No "Could not load data" error
+
+## 🔧 **Technical Details**
+
+### Build Process Flow (New):
+```
+HF Starts Build
+    ↓
+Runs app.py
+    ↓
+Checks if models exist
+    ↓ (No)
+Runs run_pipeline.py
+    ↓
+1. Data Preprocessing
+2. Feature Engineering  
+3. Model Training (Prophet + XGBoost)
+4. Model Evaluation
+5. SHAP Explainability
+6. RAG Pipeline Setup
+    ↓
+Models + Vector Store Created
+    ↓
+Launches dashboard_app.py
+    ↓
+✅ Dashboard Ready
+```
+
+### Build Process Flow (Old - BROKEN):
+```
+HF Starts Build
+    ↓
+Runs dashboard_app_enhanced.py directly
+    ↓
+Tries to load models
+    ↓ (Not found)
+❌ Models: Not Loaded
+❌ AI Q&A: Inactive
+❌ Could not load data
+```
+
+## 📊 **File Changes Summary**
+
+| File | Change Type | Purpose |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `README.md` | Modified | Updated app_file path |
+| `fmcg_genai/app.py` | Created | New entry point with model training |
+| `fmcg_genai/src/dashboard_app.py` | Modified | Fixed RAG import paths |
+| `fmcg_genai/build.py` | Created | Local build helper |
+| `fmcg_genai/start_dashboard.py` | Created | Local startup validator |
+| `DEPLOYMENT.md` | Created | Deployment guide |
+
+## ⚠️ **Important Notes**
+
+1. **First build will be slow**: Training models takes time (~10-15 min)
+2. **Subsequent builds are fast**: Models are cached
+3. **Memory requirements**: Ensure HF Space has enough RAM (recommend 16GB tier)
+4. **Alternative approach**: Use Git LFS to commit pre-trained models (see DEPLOYMENT.md)
+
+## 🎯 **Success Criteria**
+
+The deployment is successful when:
+- [ ] HF build completes without errors
+- [ ] Dashboard loads without "Could not load data" error
+- [ ] System Status shows "Models: ✅ Loaded"
+- [ ] System Status shows "AI Q&A: ✅ Active"
+- [ ] Forecasting tab works and shows predictions
+- [ ] AI Q&A Portal responds to queries
+- [ ] All visualizations render correctly
