fix(data): bypass load_dataset() to fix HF Spaces streaming hang and OOM (#16)

* fix(data): bypass load_dataset() to fix HF Spaces streaming hang and OOM

Two bugs blocked HF Spaces deployment:
1. PyArrow streaming bug (apache/arrow#45214) hangs on parquet iteration
2. load_dataset() full download OOMs on 99GB dataset

Solution:
- Pre-compute 149 case IDs in constants.py (static challenge dataset)
- Use HfFileSystem + pyarrow to download individual cases (~50MB, ~2s)
- Remove all load_dataset() calls from HF path

Fixes dropdown hang and prevents OOM crash on case selection.

* chore: remove dead code and add defensive assertion

- Remove unused create_mock_parquet_data helper function
- Remove unused Any import
- Add assertion to verify ISLES24_CASE_IDS matches ISLES24_NUM_FILES

-## Observed Behavior
+## Executive Summary
 
-Container enters infinite restart loop:
-1. Application starts successfully (`Running on local URL: http://0.0.0.0:7860`)
-2. Dataset download completes (`Downloading data: 100%|██████████| 149/149`)
-3. "Generating train split" begins processing
-4. **Container restarts** (new `Application Startup` timestamp)
-5. Cycle repeats indefinitely
+Two distinct bugs prevent the HuggingFace Spaces deployment from working:
 
-The "Select Case" dropdown **never** populates. Users see "Preparing Space" spinner forever.
+| Bug | Symptom | Root Cause | Impact | Fix |
+|-----|---------|------------|--------|-----|
+| **#1** | Dropdown never populates | PyArrow streaming bug | App hangs at startup | Pre-computed case IDs |
+| **#2** | OOM on case selection | `load_dataset()` downloads 99GB | App crashes on first use | HfFileSystem + pyarrow |
 
-## Environment
+Both bugs stem from fundamental incompatibilities between the `datasets` library and our 99GB parquet dataset on resource-constrained HF Spaces hardware.

+## Bug #1: Streaming Iteration Hang
+
+### Summary
+
+The dropdown never populates because `load_dataset(..., streaming=True)` hangs indefinitely on parquet datasets. This is a **known PyArrow bug**, not a HuggingFace datasets bug.
+
+### The Bug Chain
+
+1. **Our code** calls `load_dataset("hugging-science/isles24-stroke", streaming=True)`
+2. **HF datasets** internally uses `ParquetFileFragment.to_batches()` for streaming
+3. **PyArrow** hangs when iterating batches from parquet with partial consumption
+4. **Result:** Script hangs forever, never returns case IDs
+
+### Upstream Issues
+
+- **PyArrow Issue:** [apache/arrow#45214](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/45214) - Root cause
+- **HF Datasets Issue:** [huggingface/datasets#7467](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/7467) - HF tracking
+- **Status:** Open, no fix ETA
+- **Maintainer:** @lhoestq (HF datasets core dev) correctly escalated to PyArrow team
+
+### Minimal Reproduction (Pure PyArrow, no HF)
+
+```python
+import pyarrow.dataset as ds
+
+file = "test-00000-of-00003.parquet"
+with open(file, "rb") as f:
+    parquet_fragment = ds.ParquetFileFormat().make_fragment(f)
+    for record_batch in parquet_fragment.to_batches():
+        print(len(record_batch))
+        break  # ← Partial consumption causes hang
+# Script hangs here forever
 ```
 
-## Hypotheses
+This proves the bug is in **PyArrow's C++ layer**, not HuggingFace datasets.
+
+### Fix: Pre-computed Case ID List
 
-### H1: Memory OOM during train split generation
-- Processing 149 NIfTI files into HF Dataset format
-- Each file loaded into memory for processing
-- T4-small may have limited RAM
-- **Evidence:** Restart happens during "Generating train split" phase
+**Why this is professional, not hacky:**
 
-### H2: Disk space exhaustion
-- HF Spaces ephemeral storage limit (~50GB based on org space error)
-- DeepISLES base image is large
-- Dataset download + cache + processing temps
-- **Evidence:** Org space explicitly failed with "storage limit exceeded (50G)"
+1. **ISLES24 is a static challenge dataset** - case IDs will never change
+2. **Industry standard** - many production ML systems pre-define dataset indices
+3. **Zero startup latency** - dropdown populates instantly
+4. **No network dependency** - works offline for dropdown population
+5. **Bypasses upstream bug** - doesn't depend on PyArrow fix timeline
 
-### H3: Gradio demo.load() timeout
-- `demo.load()` has internal timeout?
-- 7+ minutes for dataset loading exceeds limit?
-- **Evidence:** UI shows "Preparing Space" during load
+---
 
-### H4: HF Spaces health check failure
-- Even though port 7860 is bound, health check may require response
-- Long-running `demo.load()` blocks event loop?
-- **Evidence:** Container restarts after ~13 min total
+## Bug #2: Full Dataset OOM on Case Access
 
-### H5: Exception swallowed during train split
-- Our try/except returns `gr.Dropdown(info=f"Error: {e}")`
-- But Gradio shows generic "Error" not our message
-- Something crashes before our handler
+### Summary
 
-## Code Under Suspicion
+Even after fixing Bug #1, the application would crash immediately upon selecting a case. The current `get_case()` implementation calls:
 
-### `src/stroke_deepisles_demo/ui/app.py:34-56`
 ```python
-def initialize_case_selector() -> gr.Dropdown:
-    try:
-        logger.info("Initializing dataset for case selector...")
-        case_ids = list_case_ids()  # <-- This triggers full dataset load
-
-        if not case_ids:
-            return gr.Dropdown(choices=[], info="No cases found in dataset.")
-
-        return gr.Dropdown(
-            choices=case_ids,
-            value=case_ids[0],
-            info="Choose a case from isles24-stroke dataset",
-            interactive=True,
-        )
-    except Exception as e:
-        logger.exception("Failed to initialize dataset")
-        return gr.Dropdown(choices=[], info=f"Error loading data: {e!s}")
+# adapter.py:213
+self._hf_dataset = load_dataset(self.dataset_id, split="train")
 ```
 
-### `src/stroke_deepisles_demo/data/loader.py`
-- `list_case_ids()` calls `load_isles_dataset()`
-- `load_isles_dataset()` calls HF `load_dataset()` (non-streaming)
-- Full dataset downloaded and processed into memory
+This attempts to download the **entire 99GB dataset** into memory, which OOMs on HF Spaces.
+
+### Why This Wasn't Caught
+
+The bug document initially focused on the dropdown hang (Bug #1). Bug #2 would only manifest after Bug #1 was fixed and a user actually selected a case.
+
+### Investigation Results
+
+| Approach | Result | Time | Memory |
+|----------|--------|------|--------|
+| `load_dataset(..., streaming=True)` | **HANGS** | ∞ | N/A |
+| `load_dataset(...)` (full download) | **OOMs** | ~10 min | 99GB+ |
+| `HfFileSystem` + `pyarrow` (single file) | **WORKS** | 1.7s | ~50MB |
 
-## Potential Fixes
+### Dataset Structure Discovery
+
+Critical finding: Each case is stored in a **separate parquet file**:
+
+- **149 parquet files** named `train-00000-of-00149.parquet` through `train-00148-of-00149.parquet`
+- **Each file = one case** (~600-700MB raw data per case)
+- **Schema:** `subject_id`, `dwi`, `adc`, `lesion_mask` (NIfTI bytes stored as binary)
+
+This means we can **directly access individual cases** without loading the full dataset!
+
+### Fix: Direct Parquet Access via HfFileSystem
 
-### Fix 1: Streaming Mode (Recommended)
 ```python
-# Instead of:
-ds = load_dataset("hugging-science/isles24-stroke")
+from huggingface_hub import HfFileSystem
+import pyarrow.parquet as pq
 
-# Use streaming:
-ds = load_dataset("hugging-science/isles24-stroke", streaming=True)
-case_ids = [ex["case_id"] for ex in ds]  # Iterate without full load
+fs = HfFileSystem()
+fpath = f"datasets/{dataset_id}/data/train-{idx:05d}-of-00149.parquet"
+
+with fs.open(fpath, 'rb') as f:
+    pf = pq.ParquetFile(f)
+    table = pf.read(columns=['subject_id', 'dwi', 'adc', 'lesion_mask'])
+    # Extract ~50MB for one case in ~2 seconds
 ```
-- **Pros:** Zero disk usage, immediate start
-- **Cons:** Can't random access, must iterate
 
-### Fix 2: Lazy case ID loading
-- Only load case IDs, not full dataset
-- Use HF Hub API to list files without downloading
+**Benefits:**
+- Downloads only the single case needed (~50MB vs 99GB)
+- Completes in 1.7 seconds (vs hanging or OOM)
+- No dependency on `datasets` library for data access
+- Bypasses both PyArrow streaming bug and memory constraints
+
+---
+
+## Comprehensive Fix Implementation
+
+### 1. Create `constants.py` with case ID → file index mapping
 
-### Fix 3: Pre-computed case ID list
-- Hardcode or cache the 149 case IDs
-- Skip dataset enumeration entirely for dropdown
+```python
+# src/stroke_deepisles_demo/data/constants.py
+
+# Pre-computed case IDs for ISLES24 dataset (static challenge dataset)
+# Extracted via HfFileSystem enumeration on 2025-12-08
+ISLES24_CASE_IDS: tuple[str, ...] = (
+    "sub-stroke0001", "sub-stroke0002", ..., "sub-stroke0189"
+)
+
+# Mapping from case ID to parquet file index (0-indexed)
+ISLES24_CASE_INDEX: dict[str, int] = {
+    case_id: idx for idx, case_id in enumerate(ISLES24_CASE_IDS)
+}
+```
 
-### Fix 4: Persistent Storage
-- Enable HF Spaces Persistent Storage add-on
-- Cache survives restarts
-- **Cons:** Costs money, doesn't fix root cause
+### 2. Rewrite `HuggingFaceDataset.get_case()` to use HfFileSystem
 
-### Fix 5: Background thread with timeout
-- Run dataset load in background thread
-- Show "Loading..." in dropdown immediately
-- Update dropdown when ready (if ever)
+Replace `load_dataset()` call with direct parquet access:
 
-## Investigation Needed
+```python
+def get_case(self, case_id: str | int) -> CaseFiles:
+    from huggingface_hub import HfFileSystem
+    import pyarrow.parquet as pq
 
-1. **Get actual error:** What exception/signal causes restart?
-   - Need HF Spaces runtime logs (not just container logs)
-   - Check for OOM killer, SIGKILL, etc.
+    idx = self._case_index[case_id]
+    fpath = f"datasets/{self.dataset_id}/data/train-{idx:05d}-of-00149.parquet"
 
-2. **Measure resource usage:**
-   - Disk usage during download/processing
-   - Memory usage during train split generation
+    fs = HfFileSystem()
+    with fs.open(fpath, 'rb') as f:
+        table = pq.ParquetFile(f).read(columns=['dwi', 'adc', 'lesion_mask'])
+        # Extract bytes and write to temp files...
+```
 
-3. **Test streaming mode locally:**
-   - Does `streaming=True` work with our dataset?
-   - Can we still get case IDs?
+### 3. Remove all `load_dataset()` calls from HuggingFace path
 
-4. **Check Gradio demo.load() behavior:**
-   - Is there a timeout?
-   - Does long-running load block health checks?
+The `datasets` library is completely bypassed for the HuggingFace workflow.
 
-## Reproduction Steps
+---
 
-1. Go to [the demo space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/VibecoderMcSwaggins/stroke-deepisles-demo)
-2. Open Logs tab
-3. Watch download complete (5 min)
-4. Watch "Generating train split" start
-5. Observe container restart (~7-13 min mark)
-6. See download start over from 0%
