Block costly Hugging Face Space hardware upgrades in PR review

When a pull request changes a Space's hardware config, it estimates the new monthly cost and posts a GitHub PR comment that flags upgrades crossing a budget ceiling.

What it does

Reviews pull requests that touch a Hugging Face Space's hardware setting (README metadata or config). It looks up the requested tier's price, projects the always-on monthly cost, and leaves a GitHub comment approving cheap changes or warning when an upgrade would blow past the budget ceiling.

When to use it

When Spaces are configured as code and a reviewer might miss that someone bumped a demo from free CPU to an A10G GPU. Catch the cost at review time, not on the invoice.

How it works

  1. 1A GitHub pull_request webhook fires when a PR opens or updates.
  2. 2Read the changed files and detect a modified Space hardware tier.
  3. 3Map the new tier to its hourly rate via the Hugging Face hardware catalog and project monthly cost.
  4. 4A branch checks the projected cost against the configured ceiling.
  5. 5Post a GitHub PR review comment: a green note under budget, or a flagged warning with the dollar delta and who to ping for sign-off.
