Remove Gradio GUI and Hugging Face deployment (keep view.py refactor) - #22
Merged
Conversation
Hugging Face Gradio Spaces are no longer free, so drop the Gradio front-end and the HF publish path, keeping the NiceGUI GUI as the only front-end. The shared view logic refactor (conflens/view.py) is kept — app.py still uses it. Removed: - conflens/gradio_app.py, space_app.py, requirements.txt (HF Space entry/deps) - .github/workflows/sync-hf-space.yml + .github/huggingface/ (HF sync + metadata) - tests/test_gradio_app.py - pyproject: the `gradio` extra and the `conflens-gradio` console script - test.yml: revert to `uv sync` (no gradio extra); uv.lock re-locked (gradio gone) Docs (README, AGENTS, CLAUDE, ARCHITECTURE) updated back to a single NiceGUI front-end while keeping view.py as the GUI-agnostic view layer.

Summary
Hugging Face Gradio Spaces are no longer free, so this removes the Gradio front-end and the HF publish path, leaving NiceGUI as the single GUI. The
view.pyrefactor is kept —app.pystill delegates its filter/sort/highlight/compute-view/export logic to it.Removed

The earlier HF-fix PRs are now moot and should be closed (their target — the HF sync — is being removed): #20 (HF owner) and #21 (HF runtime/CPU). PR #19 (non-claude branch naming) is unrelated and still valid.
