🚨 CRITICAL FIX: Resolve HF Spaces deployment issues

❌ ISSUES FIXED:
1. Missing SentencePiece dependency causing TTS failures
2. App still attempting model downloads despite storage optimization
3. 503 errors instead of graceful fallback responses
4. Emergency download still triggering storage limit exceeded

✅ COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION:

🔧 **Dependencies Fixed:**
- Added sentencepiece>=0.1.99 to requirements.txt
- Fixed SpeechT5Tokenizer import errors

🚫 **Model Download Prevention:**
- Enhanced environment variable checks
- Added hf_spaces_fix.py for forced compatibility mode
- Graceful fallback instead of RuntimeError exceptions

🎙️ **TTS-Only Mode Improvements:**
- Returns 200 success responses instead of 503 errors
- Clear messaging about HF Spaces storage limitations
- Proper audio generation fallback paths

🛡️ **Error Handling:**
- No more 'emergency download' attempts in storage-optimized mode
- Graceful degradation with user-friendly messages
- Success responses even when video generation unavailable

🚀 **Files Updated:**
- app.py: Added HF Spaces compatibility imports
- omniavatar_video_engine.py: Fixed graceful fallback logic
- requirements.txt: Added missing SentencePiece dependency
- hf_spaces_fix.py: Comprehensive environment setup
- start_hf_spaces.sh: Startup script with proper env vars

🎯 **Expected Result:**
✅ App starts successfully on HF Spaces
✅ TTS functionality works properly
✅ No storage limit exceeded errors
✅ 200 success responses for TTS-only generation
✅ Clear user messaging about video generation limitations

+    - **No Dependencies**: Works even without advanced models
+    - **High Availability**: Multiple fallback layers
+    - **Voice Profiles**: Multiple voice characteristics
