+from typing import Optional, Tuple, List
+
+def process_metadata(values: dict, enabled_groups: List[str]) -> str:
+    """
+    Process metadata values and generate CSV format.
+    
+    Args:
+        values: Dictionary of patient/lesion fields
+        enabled_groups: List of active metadata groups
+        
+    Returns:
+        CSV-formatted string
+        
+    Raises:
+        ValueError: If required fields are missing
+    """
+    # Implementation...
+```
+
+## Project Structure Reference
+
+```

+└── preprocess_data/          # Encoders, scalers
+```
+
+## Areas to Avoid (Breaking Changes)
+
+- **Do not modify**: Input/output format of `run_inference()` without coordination
+- **Do not change**: Metadata CSV schema without updating documentation
+- **Do not remove**: Core model classes without providing migration path
+- **Do not alter**: Pre-trained model weights (they're frozen)
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing
+```bash
+# Run the app locally
+python app.py
+
+# Test scenarios:
+1. Upload test image (try different formats)
+2. Toggle metadata groups
+3. Test all model options
+4. Verify heatmap generation
+5. Check metadata CSV output
+```
+
+### Automated Testing (Optional)
+```bash
+# Create tests/test_inference.py
+import pytest
+from src.models.inference import get_available_model_choices
+
+def test_model_loading():
+    choices = get_available_model_choices()
+    assert len(choices) > 0, "No models available"
+    assert all(isinstance(c, tuple) for c in choices)
+
+# Run tests
+pytest tests/
+```
+
+## Deployment Considerations
+
+Before submitting PR with changes:
+- [ ] Changes work locally with `python app.py`
+- [ ] No new dependencies added without updating `requirements.txt`
+- [ ] No hardcoded local paths
+- [ ] All imports are available in requirements
+- [ ] Code produces no warnings when run
+
+## GPU/Performance Notes
+
+- Models are cached after first load - don't reload unnecessarily
+- Use `torch.no_grad()` for inference (already implemented)
+- Profile code for bottlenecks: `python -m cProfile app.py`
+
+## Documentation Standards
+
+### For New Features
+1. Update `README.md` with feature description
+2. Add docstrings to functions
+3. Include usage examples in docstrings
+4. Update relevant guide (DEPLOYMENT.md, etc.)
+
+### Example Docstring
+```python
+def generate_heatmap(image_tensor: torch.Tensor, metadata_tensor: torch.Tensor) -> np.ndarray:
+    """
+    Generate GradCAM++ heatmap for given inputs.
+    
+    This method computes class-weighted gradients and generates attention maps.
+    The output can be overlaid on the original image for visualization.
+    
+    Args:
+        image_tensor: Preprocessed image (1, 3, H, W)
+        metadata_tensor: Encoded metadata (1, 20)
+        
+    Returns:
+        Normalized heatmap (H, W) with values in [0, 1]
+        
+    Example:
+        >>> image = torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224)
+        >>> metadata = torch.randn(1, 20)
+        >>> heatmap = generate_heatmap(image, metadata)
+        >>> assert heatmap.shape == (224, 224)
+    """
+```
+
+## Commit Message Style
+
+Follow conventional commits:
+```
+feat: add new attention mechanism
+fix: resolve heatmap generation bug
+docs: update README with new feature
+style: format code with black
+refactor: optimize inference pipeline
+test: add unit tests for metadata builder
+chore: update dependencies
+```

+# HuggingFace Spaces Deployment Guide
+
+This document provides step-by-step instructions for deploying the Multimodal Skin Lesion Explainability application to HuggingFace Spaces.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- HuggingFace account ([signup here](https://huggingface.co/join))
+- Git installed locally
+- Basic familiarity with command line
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### Option 1: Automatic Deployment (Recommended)
+
+1. **Create a HuggingFace Repository**
+   - Go to https://huggingface.co/new
+   - Create a public repository with a descriptive name
+   - Choose "Space" as the repository type
+   - Select "Gradio" as the SDK
+   - Choose the Python version as "3.10"
+
+2. **Clone the Repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/<your-space-name>
+   cd <your-space-name>
+   ```
+
+3. **Copy Project Files**
+   ```bash
+   # Copy all project files to the cloned directory
+   cp -r /path/to/GradCAMPlusPlus_SkinLesion/* .
+   ```
+
+4. **Push to HuggingFace**
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "Initial deployment: Multimodal Skin Lesion Explainability"
+   git push
+   ```
+
+5. **Monitor Deployment**
+   - Go to your Space page on HuggingFace
+   - Wait for the "Building" status to complete
+   - Once built, your app will be accessible at: `https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/<your-space-name>`
+
+### Option 2: Manual Deployment via Web Interface
+
+1. Create a Space on HuggingFace with "Gradio" SDK
+2. Use the web file editor to upload files:
+   - `app.py`
+   - `requirements.txt`
+   - `spaces.yaml`
+   - `README.md`
+   - All contents of `src/` directory
+   - All contents of `data/` directory
+
+3. Commit changes - the build will start automatically
+
+## Important Configuration Notes
+
+### GPU Allocation
+- **Recommended**: A10G GPU for ~2-3x faster inference
+- **Default**: CPU-only deployment (works but slower)
+- To enable GPU, uncomment the GPU line in `spaces.yaml`
+
+### Storage
+- Model weights: ~560 MB (4 models × 140 MB each)
+- Preprocessing files: ~2 KB
+- Total: Less than 1 GB persistent storage
+
+### Build Time
+- First build: ~5-10 minutes (all dependencies installed)
+- Subsequent builds: ~2-3 minutes (cached dependencies)
+
+### Runtime Requirements
+- Python 3.10
+- ~2-3 GB RAM for model inference
+- ~500 MB for dependencies
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Models Not Loading
+**Error**: `RuntimeError: No compatible model checkpoints were found`
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Verify `data/weights/TO_BE_USED/` directory structure exists
+2. Check that `.pth` files are tracked with Git LFS (not regular files)
+3. Ensure file sizes are correct (each ~140 MB)
+
+### Out of Memory Errors
+**Error**: `RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory` or similar
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Set `PYTORCH_CUDA_PER_PROCESS_MEMORY_FRACTION=0.5` environment variable
+2. Ensure GPU allocation in `spaces.yaml`
+3. Switch to CPU-only mode if GPU is unavailable
+
+### Slow Inference
+**Issue**: App takes >30 seconds per prediction
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Enable GPU in `spaces.yaml`
+2. Ensure models are properly cached (first inference slower)
+3. Reduce Gradio queue size if overwhelming requests
+
+### Import Errors
+**Error**: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'models'`
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Verify `src/` directory is in the repository root
+2. Check that `sys.path.append()` is correct in `app.py`
+3. Verify all imports use relative paths in `src/` files
+
+## Git LFS Setup
+
+If pushing large model files locally:
+
+```bash
+# Install Git LFS
+git lfs install
+
+# Track large files
+git lfs track "*.pth"
+git add .gitattributes
+
+# Push with LFS
+git push origin main
+```
+
+*Note*: HuggingFace Spaces automatically handles Git LFS, so you don't need to install it for viewing/using the Space.
+
+## Monitoring & Maintenance
+
+### View Logs
+- Click "Logs" on your Space page to see build and runtime outputs
+- Useful for debugging deployment issues
+
+### Update the Space
+1. Make local changes
+2. `git add .` and `git commit -m "Description"`
+3. `git push`
+4. Space will auto-update within minutes
+
+### Version Management
+- Tag releases: `git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "First release"`
+- Push tags: `git push origin --tags`
+
+## Performance Optimization Tips
+
+1. **First Request**: Slower due to model loading (~30-60 seconds)
+2. **Subsequent Requests**: Faster (~5-15 seconds) as models are cached
+3. **Concurrent Users**: Queue system automatically manages request ordering
+4. **Image Preprocessing**: Optimized with `opencv-python-headless` for headless servers
+
+## Sharing & Collaboration
+
+### Share Your Space
+- Public link: `https://huggingface.co/spaces/<username>/<space-name>`
+- Embed in website: HuggingFace provides embed code
+- Add to README.md frontmatter: `space-id: <username>/<space-name>`
+
+### Allow Duplications
+Enable "Community" tab on your Space page to let others duplicate it:
+- Users can create their own copy
+- They maintain their own resources
+
+## Custom Domain (Optional)
+
+HuggingFace Spaces supports custom domain mapping:
+1. Add DNS CNAME record pointing to HuggingFace
+2. Configure in Space settings
+3. See HuggingFace docs for details
+
+## Legal & Privacy
+
+- **Terms**: Review HuggingFace Terms of Service
+- **Data**: Images uploaded are not permanently stored (processing only)
+- **Model Weights**: Available under your repository's license
+- **Attribution**: Please credit original PAD-UFES-20 dataset

+- [ ] Metadata CSV preview displays
+- [ ] Clear button resets all fields
+- [ ] No errors in browser console (F12 to check)
+
+### ✅ Performance Monitoring
+- [ ] First inference: 30-60 seconds (acceptable with model loading)
+- [ ] Subsequent inferences: 5-15 seconds
+- [ ] Queue works with concurrent requests (if multiple users)
+- [ ] Memory usage stable (check Runtime/Logs)
+
+## Troubleshooting Guide
+
+### Build Fails with ImportError
+**Solution**:
+1. Check `requirements.txt` - ensure all imports are listed
+2. Read full error in Logs tab
+3. Verify Python 3.10 is specified in `spaces.yaml`
+
+### Models Not Found at Runtime
+**Solution**:
+1. Verify `data/weights/TO_BE_USED/` directory in repository
+2. Check file sizes in Logs during startup
+3. Ensure `.pth` files are fetched (Git LFS resolution)
+
+### CUDA Out of Memory
+**Solution**:
+1. Add to `spaces.yaml`: `gpu: "A10G"` 
+2. Or remove GPU line for CPU-only
+3. Set env var: `PYTORCH_CUDA_PER_PROCESS_MEMORY_FRACTION=0.5`
+
+### App Loads but Inference Fails
+**Solution**:
+1. Check browser console for errors (F12)
+2. Check Logs tab for Python errors
+3. Verify all preprocessing files exist in `data/preprocess_data/`
+
+## Optimization Tips
+
+### Speed Up First Inference
+- Pin GPU instance in `spaces.yaml` (if budget allows)
+- Pre-load one model at startup (modify `inference.py`)
+
+### Reduce Memory Usage
+- Use CPU-only mode (remove gpu line in spaces.yaml)
+- Quantize models (advanced)
+
+### Handle More Concurrent Users
+- Increase `GRADIO_QUEUE_SIZE` in environment
+- Add GPU for faster inference
+- Implement request timeout
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- [ ] No API keys/secrets in code
+- [ ] Use `.env.example` for configuration templates
+- [ ] Avoid downloading from untrusted sources
+- [ ] Review third-party packages for vulnerabilities
+- [ ] Model predictions should not persist user data
+
+## Documentation
+
+- [ ] README.md has clear feature description
+- [ ] DEPLOYMENT.md has step-by-step guide
+- [ ] Code includes docstrings (especially inference.py)
+- [ ] Comments explain non-obvious logic
+- [ ] Example outputs shown in README
+
+## Final Checklist
+
+- [ ] All items above are checked
+- [ ] Tested locally: `python app.py` works
+- [ ] Committed to git: `git status` shows clean
+- [ ] Pushed to HuggingFace: `git push origin main`
+- [ ] Build completed: Space shows "Running" status
+- [ ] App functional: Can upload, select options, generate predictions
+- [ ] Performance adequate: Inference completes in reasonable time
+- [ ] Logs clean: No errors in Logs tab

+## 🛠️ Technical Details
+
+### Input Processing
+- **Images**: Normalized using ImageNet statistics, resized for model input
+- **Metadata**: One-hot encoded and padded to 20 dimensions
+
+### Attention Visualization
+- **GradCAM++**: Computes class activation maps using gradient averaging
+- **Overlay**: Jet colormap (blue=low importance, red=high importance)
+
+### Model Input Format
+- Metadata is sent as CSV with specific column order
+- Columns are enabled/disabled based on selected groups
+- Empty values represented as empty strings
+
+## ⚠️ Important Notes
+
+- **Pre-condition**: Model weights must be present in `data/weights/TO_BE_USED/` for inference to work
