| # Bucket Data | |
| Local staging folder for persistent storage in your HF Space. | |
| **Usage**: Files sync to the Space bucket via `./sync-bucket.sh` (auto-run on deploy). | |
| **Optional contents**: | |
| - `models/` – model artifacts | |
| - `cache-seed/` – Hugging Face cache seeds | |
| - `metadata/` – JSON/CSV files for app logic | |
| **Notes**: | |
| - Folder is optional; empty deploys work fine. | |
| - Runtime caches go to `/data/.hf_cache` (mounted Space volume). | |
| - Never commit secrets here. | |
