docs: enhance Phase 4 documentation with detailed implementation and deployment instructions

- Expanded the documentation for the Orchestrator and Gradio UI, detailing the agent's workflow and event handling.
- Updated the roadmap to clarify the organization of placeholder files and their future use.
- Included comprehensive deployment instructions for Docker and HuggingFace Spaces.
- Revised the implementation checklist and definition of done to reflect the completion of the UI integration and orchestration logic.
- Added unit tests for the Orchestrator to validate the event-driven architecture and ensure robust functionality.

 ## 1. The Slice Definition
 
 This slice connects:
-1. **Orchestrator**: The loop calling `SearchHandler` → `JudgeHandler`.
-2. **UI**: Gradio app.
+1. **Orchestrator**: The main loop calling `SearchHandler` → `JudgeHandler`.
+2. **Synthesis**: Generate a final markdown report.
+3. **UI**: Gradio streaming chat interface.
+4. **Deployment**: Dockerfile + HuggingFace Spaces config.
 
 **Files**:
-- `src/utils/models.py`: Add Orchestrator models
-- `src/orchestrator.py`: Main logic
-- `src/app.py`: UI
+- `src/utils/models.py`: Add AgentState, AgentEvent
+- `src/orchestrator.py`: Main agent loop
+- `src/app.py`: Gradio UI
+- `Dockerfile`: Container build
+- `README.md`: HuggingFace Space config (at root)

+# DeepCritical - Drug Repurposing Research Agent
+
+An AI-powered research assistant that searches biomedical literature to identify
+drug repurposing opportunities.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🔍 Searches PubMed and web sources
+- ⚖️ Evaluates evidence quality using AI
+- 📝 Generates comprehensive research reports
+- 💊 Identifies drug repurposing candidates
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. Enter a research question about drug repurposing
+2. Wait for the agent to search and analyze literature
+3. Review the generated research report
+
+## Example Questions
+
+- "Can metformin be repurposed to treat Alzheimer's disease?"
+- "What existing drugs might help treat long COVID?"
+- "Are there diabetes drugs that could treat Parkinson's?"
+
+## Technical Details
+
+Built with:
+- PydanticAI for structured LLM outputs
+- PubMed E-utilities for biomedical search
+- DuckDuckGo for web search
+- Gradio for the interface
+
+## Disclaimer

+- [ ] Implement `src/app.py` (complete Gradio UI)
+- [ ] Create `Dockerfile`
+- [ ] Update root `README.md` for HuggingFace Spaces
 - [ ] Write tests in `tests/unit/test_orchestrator.py`
-- [ ] Run `uv run python src/app.py`
+- [ ] Run `uv run pytest tests/unit/test_orchestrator.py -v` — **ALL TESTS MUST PASS**

 ---
 
-## 7. Definition of Done
+## 8. Definition of Done
 
 Phase 4 is **COMPLETE** when:
 
-1. ✅ Unit test for orchestrator (`tests/unit/test_orchestrator.py`) passes.
-2. ✅ Orchestrator streams `AgentEvent` objects through the loop (search → judge → synthesize/stop).
-3. ✅ Gradio UI renders streaming updates locally (`uv run python src/app.py`).
-4. ✅ Manual smoke test returns a markdown report for a demo query (e.g., "long COVID fatigue").
-5. ✅ Deployment docs are ready (Space README/Dockerfile referenced).
-
-Manual smoke test:
+1. ✅ All unit tests pass
+2. ✅ Orchestrator yields streaming AgentEvents
+3. ✅ Orchestrator respects max_iterations
+4. ✅ Graceful error handling with error events
+5. ✅ Gradio UI renders streaming updates
+6. ✅ Ruff and mypy pass with no errors
+7. ✅ Docker builds successfully
+8. ✅ Manual smoke test works:
 
 ```bash
+# Run locally
 uv run python src/app.py
-# open http://localhost:7860 and ask:
+
+# Open http://localhost:7860 and test:
 # "What existing drugs might help treat long COVID fatigue?"
+
+# Verify:
+# - Status updates stream in real-time
+# - Final report is formatted as markdown
+# - No errors in console
 ```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Deployment to HuggingFace Spaces
+
+### Option A: Via GitHub (Recommended)
+
+1. Push your code to GitHub
+2. Create a new Space on HuggingFace (Gradio SDK)
+3. Connect your GitHub repo
+4. Add secrets in Space settings:
+   - `OPENAI_API_KEY` (or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`)
+5. Deploy automatically on push
+
+### Option B: Manual Upload
+
+1. Create new Gradio Space on HuggingFace
+2. Upload all files:
+   - `src/` directory
+   - `pyproject.toml`
+   - `README.md`
+3. Add secrets in Space settings
+4. Wait for build
+
+### Verify Deployment
+
+1. Visit your Space URL
+2. Ask: "What drugs could treat long COVID?"
+3. Verify:
+   - Streaming events appear
+   - Final report is generated
+   - No timeout errors
+
+---
+
+## 10. Post-MVP Enhancements (Optional)
+
+After completing the MVP, consider:
+
+1. **RAG Enhancement**: Add vector storage for evidence retrieval
+2. **Clinical Trials**: Integrate ClinicalTrials.gov API
+3. **Drug Database**: Add DrugBank or ChEMBL integration
+4. **Report Export**: Add PDF/DOCX export
+5. **History**: Save research sessions
+6. **Multi-turn**: Allow follow-up questions
+
+---
+
+**🎉 Congratulations! Phase 4 is the MVP.**
+
+After completing Phase 4, you have a working drug repurposing research agent
+that can be demonstrated at the hackathon!
