I used Graido/chatbot Space template to create my app. But it seems that it is not possible to install the correct version of Gradio. I configured version 5.29.0:

```auto
README.md:
...
sdk: gradio
sdk_version: 5.29.0
...

requirements.txt
gradio==5.29.0
huggingface_hub==0.31.1

```

but after building/running the app I see:

```auto
user@r-datenoio-dateno-chatbot-o9ssw0sg-1d555-to0vn:~/app$ python
Python 3.10.17 (main, May 9 2025, 23:45:39) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux

>>> import gradio, huggingface_hub
>>> gradio. __version__'5.0.1'
>>> huggingface_hub. __version__'0.31.1'

```

In Building log I see:

```auto

...

```

This looks like a forced downgrade scenario for Graido via template’s Dockerfile. Is this the correct behavior?

It seems to be fine now.

I recreated Space from scratch, unfortunately – the same situation ☹

Today I created Gradio Space again ([Test - a Hugging Face Space by datenoio](https://huggingface.co/spaces/datenoio/test)) – the problem still exists.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new space:  
Space SDK: Gradio  
Gradio template: chatbot  
Space hardware: CPU basic · 2 vCPU · 16 GB · FREE  
Enable dev mode  
Public
2. Change Gradio’s version ([patch](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tSql166gkfHbMtnr_rTZkOHil-vxKI0R/view?usp=sharing)).
3. Space settings – Factory rebuild ([build log](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aoZQJKryh4u8kYPOvMmNzYDNoM-U6Iyb/view?usp=sharing)).
4. Check Gradio’s version on Space SSH session:

```auto
user@r-datenoio-test-n8tjolp9-e4272-hlpmp:~/app$ cat requirements.txt
gradio==5.29.0
huggingface_hub==0.31.1

user@r-datenoio-test-n8tjolp9-e4272-hlpmp:~/app$ cat README.md

title: Test
emoji: 💬

Hmm… When using Dev mode, there are sometimes git inconsistencies, but I think that’s what it is.🤔

Yep! It looks like black magic: after switching off dev mode, Gradio’s version upgraded to 5.29.0, and after switching on dev mode again, the app still works with 5.29.0 🤪
