STEP 2: Test Space (2 min)
  → Visit: https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/medsam-inference
  → Upload image in UI
  → Click "Segment"
  → Verify it works!

STEP 3: Integrate with Backend (5 min)
  → Read: README_INTEGRATION.md
  → File already copied: ../medsam_space_client.py

INTEGRATION SUMMARY:
-------------------

BEFORE (in your app.py):
  from segment_anything import sam_model_registry, SamPredictor
  sam = sam_model_registry["vit_b"](checkpoint="models/sam_vit_h_4b8939.pth")
  sam_predictor = SamPredictor(sam)

AFTER (in your app.py):
  from medsam_space_client import MedSAMSpacePredictor
  sam_predictor = MedSAMSpacePredictor(os.getenv('MEDSAM_SPACE_URL'))

Everything else stays EXACTLY the same! ✨
