## Dependency Notes

### Gradio + Supabase Compatibility

There's a dependency conflict between older Gradio versions and Supabase:

- **supabase >= 2.0** requires `realtime` which needs `websockets >= 13.0`
- **gradio 4.x** pins `websockets` to 12.x via `gradio_client`
- **gradio >= 5.0** supports `websockets >= 13.0`

**Solution**: Use `gradio >= 5.0.0` in requirements.txt

### Gradio 6.x API Changes

In Gradio 6.0, the `theme` parameter moved from `gr.Blocks()` to `.launch()`:

```python
# Old (Gradio 4.x)
with gr.Blocks(theme=gr.themes.Soft()) as app:
    ...

# New (Gradio 6.x)
with gr.Blocks() as app:
    ...
app.launch(theme="soft")
```

### Progress Indicators

For progress bars and spinners to work in Gradio, functions must be **generators** that `yield` intermediate results:

```python
# Won't show progress (regular function)
def search(query, progress=gr.Progress()):
    progress(0.5, desc="Searching...")
    return results  # No UI updates until complete

# Will show progress (generator)
def search(query, progress=gr.Progress()):
    progress(0.5, desc="Searching...")
    yield "Searching..."  # UI updates here
    yield results  # Final result
```

The `yield` statements create checkpoints where Gradio can update the UI.
