What changed:

cell_sizes(masks) — one np.bincount pass returning every cell's pixel count — now feeds rec_min_size, filter_mask_by_size, filter_mask_by_maxsize, and the log line. Previously each recomputed the same thing by rescanning the whole mask once per cell. Filtering became a lookup-table remap instead of a per-cell loop.

Equivalence verified against the original implementations across six mask fixtures and five threshold settings each:

typical 430 cells cells= 430 thr= 49 rec_min= 49 OK
dense 900 cells cells= 900 thr= 13 rec_min= 13 OK
sparse 20 cells cells= 20 thr= 113 rec_min= 113 OK
empty mask cells= 0 thr= 1 rec_min= 0 OK
single cell cells= 1 thr= 253 rec_min= 253 OK
gaps in ids cells= 55 thr= 81 rec_min= 81 OK

renumbered contiguous 1..N: True dtype=int32
ALL EQUIVALENT

Identical arrays, identical removal counts, including empty masks, thresholds of 0, thresholds larger than every cell, and non-contiguous IDs.

@spaces.GPU moved from run_segmentation onto run_segmentation_patched, with duration=120. The GPU is now attached only around model construction and eval(), not around photo decoding, the perspective warp, size filtering, or overlay rendering.

Model weights prefetch at startup via _prefetch_models(), so hf_hub_download inside the GPU section is a cache hit rather than a network fetch on quota time. It fails soft if the Hub is unreachable.
