+# Hugging Face Agents Course final assignment
+
+This repository contains a local-first solution for the [Hugging Face Agents
+Course final assignment](https://huggingface.co/learn/agents-course/unit4/hands-on).
+The public Space is a static, free code showcase; model inference and evaluation
+run locally so that Ollama never needs to be exposed to the internet.
+
+The system uses three deliberate stages:
+
+1. A planning agent identifies the answer type, evidence, calculations, and
+   attachment work required.
+2. A research agent can search the web, read pages, and run bounded Python
+   calculations.
+3. A validation agent checks the evidence and emits one exact-match submission
+   value.
+
+Planning and validation use schema-constrained Ollama requests with no tool
+interface, so they cannot attempt research tools. Only the research agent gets
+`web_search`, `visit_webpage`, and `python_interpreter`. Validation rejects
+unsupported or inconsistent evidence and can return concrete feedback for up to
+two additional research rounds. An answer is cached only after validation
+passes.
+
+Evaluation answers, downloaded task files, transcripts, logs, and credentials
+are stored below `.local/`, which is excluded from Git.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11 or newer
+- [Ollama for Windows](https://ollama.com/download/windows)
+- An NVIDIA GPU is helpful but not required
+
+Pull the local multimodal model:
+
+```powershell
+ollama pull gemma4:e4b-it-qat
+```
+
+After installing or updating Ollama on Windows, quit and relaunch the Ollama
+tray application and open a new PowerShell window before pulling models. This
+refreshes both the running server version and the terminal's `PATH`.
+
+`gemma4:e4b-it-qat` is shared by all three agents and also analyzes image and
+audio attachments. MP3 and other audio files are decoded (not transcribed) into
+16 kHz mono WAV chunks before Gemma 4 receives the audio. This keeps each chunk
+within Gemma 4's 30-second audio limit. The current Ollama-compatible default
+sends WAV data through the multimodal `images` field; set
+`OLLAMA_AUDIO_TRANSPORT=audios` when the installed Ollama release documents and
+supports that native field. `faster-whisper` remains an optional safety fallback
+until a real audio task succeeds locally. Python and XLSX attachments are
+extracted without an LLM.
+
+## Installation
+
+```powershell
+python -m venv .venv
+.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+python -m pip install -U pip
+python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### GAIA attachment access
+
+The course scoring service normally serves task attachments. If that endpoint
+returns 404, the runner falls back to the official gated
+[`gaia-benchmark/GAIA`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gaia-benchmark/GAIA)
+dataset. To enable the fallback:
+
+1. Sign in on the dataset page, review its conditions, and request/accept access.
+2. Authenticate this machine using the same personal account:
+
+   ```powershell
+   .\.venv\Scripts\hf.exe auth login
+   .\.venv\Scripts\hf.exe auth whoami
+   ```
+
+The browser/device-code login stores its token in the Hugging Face user cache,
+outside this repository. Never place the token in `.env`, command arguments,
+source code, or the public Space. GAIA files are downloaded only below
+`.local/`, which remains private and Git-ignored; do not republish them.
+
+Copy the example configuration for reference, but set real values in your shell
+instead of committing a `.env` file:
+
+```powershell
+$env:HF_USERNAME = "BmanClark"
+$env:SPACE_ID = "BmanClark/Agents_Course_final"
+```
+
+Optional model settings are documented in [.env.example](.env.example).
+
+## Running locally
+
+First verify the Python dependencies, Ollama server, and required models:
+
+```powershell
+python app.py check
+```
+
+Try one random evaluation task:
+
+```powershell
+python app.py test
+```
+
+Run all remaining tasks. Each successful answer is saved immediately so the run
+can be resumed safely:
+
+```powershell
+python app.py run
+python app.py status
+```
+
+Re-run one task when tuning prompts:
+
+```powershell
+python app.py run --task-id TASK_ID --force
+```
+
+Review the local cache, then submit. Submission is a separate command and asks
+for an explicit confirmation:
+
+```powershell
+python app.py submit
+```
+
+The scoring request contains the Hugging Face username, this public code URL,
+and the cached `task_id`/answer pairs. It does not contain an HF access token.
+
+## Security notes
+
+- Never commit `.env`, `.local/`, answer JSON, task attachments, model files,
+  tokens, or API keys.
+- `hf auth login` stores its token outside this repository; the evaluation API
+  does not need that token.
+- The public Space is intentionally static and contains no runtime secrets.
+- If a credential is ever committed, revoke it immediately before cleaning the
+  Git history.
