3-tier resilience: GPU retry -> HF Inference -> deterministic; add torchvision for VLM

 """ZeroGPU entry point for the Document Integrity Verifier.
 
-The Space loads **two** open models once at module level and exposes a
-``@spaces.GPU``-wrapped helper for each:
+Three-tier resilience for both heavy AI steps so a single ZeroGPU hiccup
+never blocks the verdict:
 
-* An OCR-specialised vision-language model (default
-  ``nanonets/Nanonets-OCR-s``) — transcribes one rendered page image at a
-  time so the CPU OCR engines have a "smart visual reader" to compare
-  against.
-* A reasoning LLM (default ``openai/gpt-oss-20b``, 21B/3.6B-active MoE with
-  native MXFP4) — produces the final written integrity verdict over
-  the combined countermeasures + multi-engine OCR statistics.
+* **Tier 1 — local @spaces.GPU**: the model is loaded once at module level
+  via PyTorch CUDA emulation; the actual call holds the GPU only for the
+  declared duration. Transient ZeroGPU errors (expired proxy token, queue
+  reassignment) trigger one in-process retry.
+* **Tier 2 — HF Inference Providers**: if local GPU still fails (out of
+  quota, model not loaded, persistent error), the request is replayed against
+  Hugging Face's hosted Inference Providers using the ``HF_TOKEN`` Space
+  Secret. No on-Space GPU is held during this call.
+* **Tier 3 — deterministic**: ``reasoning_review.summarize_truthfulness``
+  always computes the stats-based baseline first. If both Tier 1 and Tier 2
+  raise, the deterministic verdict is what the user sees.
 
 Both helpers are handed to
 :mod:`legal_doc_redteam.zerogpu_gui` through ``bind_vlm_fn`` and
-``bind_chat_fn`` so the existing audit pipeline reuses the warm GPU models
-instead of reloading them per request.
+``bind_chat_fn`` so the existing audit pipeline reuses the warm GPU models.
 
-If the ``spaces`` package or either model load fails (e.g. when the Space is
-running on CPU hardware for local testing), the GUI silently falls back to
-its CPU-only / deterministic backends so the rest of the audit still works.
+If the ``spaces`` package or model load fails entirely (e.g. on CPU hardware
