Hi HF team,

All my Docker SDK Spaces are stuck in “Building” state with completely empty build logs. This affects my account `tao-shen`.

## Affected Spaces

- [HuggingClaw - a Hugging Face Space by tao-shen](https://huggingface.co/spaces/tao-shen/HuggingClaw) (main project)
- [test-docker-minimal - a Hugging Face Space by tao-shen](https://huggingface.co/spaces/tao-shen/test-docker-minimal) (minimal Flask hello-world Dockerfile for diagnosis)

## Diagnostic Results

| Test | SDK | Status | Conclusion |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| test-static-minimal | static | RUNNING (deployed in seconds) | Account is NOT blocked |
| test-docker-minimal | docker | BUILDING (no logs) | Docker build path broken |
| HuggingClaw | docker | BUILDING (no logs) | Same issue |

- A **Static SDK Space** deployed successfully in seconds → account is NOT blocked
- A **minimal Docker Space** with just `FROM python:3.11-slim` + Flask hello-world is also stuck with zero build logs → this is NOT a Dockerfile issue
- The same Dockerfile for HuggingClaw was building and running successfully before
- Build logs API (`/api/spaces/{repo}/logs/build`) returns empty SSE stream

## What I have tried (all unsuccessful)

1. Factory reboot via API (`restart?factory=true`)
2. Delete Space and recreate with same name
3. Create new Spaces with different slugs (HuggingClaw2, HuggingClaw3)
4. Paused 4 other running Spaces to free resources
5. SDK toggle trick (docker → static → docker)
6. Pause then resume via API
7. Push trivial commits to trigger rebuild

## Environment

- Account: `tao-shen` (free tier, cpu-basic)
- Timeline: Started Feb 28, 2026, persisted over several hours
- [status.huggingface.co](http://status.huggingface.co) shows all services operational

Could someone please check the Docker build queue/scheduler for my account? Thank you!
