# 🐕 Ggen Dogfooding Quick Start

**Using ggen to fix ggen's own problems - the ultimate proof it works!**

## 🚨 Current Problem

**403 panic points** in production code that could crash the application.

## ✅ Solution: Dogfooding Tools Created

### 1️⃣ Automatic Panic Point Fixer
```bash
# See what would be fixed
cargo script scripts/fix-panic-points.rs --dry-run

# Fix all panic points automatically
cargo script scripts/fix-panic-points.rs
```

### 2️⃣ Pre-Commit Hook (Prevents Future Issues)
```bash
# Install once
ggen lifecycle run setup-git-hooks

# Now commits with panic points are automatically blocked!
```

### 3️⃣ Safety Validation Script
```bash
# Check if code is production-safe
./scripts/check-no-panic-points.sh

# Returns:
# ✅ PASS: No panic points found
# or
# ❌ FAIL: Found X panic points
```

### 4️⃣ Safe Error Handling Template
```bash
# Generate safe code patterns
ggen template generate templates/safe-error-handling.tmpl
```

### 5️⃣ Production Lifecycle
```bash
# Run complete validation
ggen lifecycle run production-validate

# Or just safety check
ggen lifecycle run validate-safety

# Or dogfooding workflow
ggen lifecycle run dogfood
```

## 🚀 60-Second Setup

```bash
# 1. Install git hooks (prevents panic points in commits)
ggen lifecycle run setup-git-hooks

# 2. Check current state
./scripts/check-no-panic-points.sh

# 3. Fix critical paths
cargo script scripts/fix-panic-points.rs cli/src

# Done! You're now dogfooding!
```

## 🎯 What This Proves

1. **Ggen works for production code** - We trust it for our own codebase
2. **Automation saves time** - Fixes 403 panic points automatically
3. **Templates ensure quality** - Safe patterns by default
4. **Lifecycle integrates** - Validation happens automatically
5. **Tools prevent issues** - Pre-commit hooks stop bad code

## 📚 Full Documentation

- `docs/DOGFOODING_GUIDE.md` - Complete guide
- `docs/PRODUCTION_READINESS_8020.md` - Production checklist
- `scripts/README.md` - Script usage

## 🎓 Key Learning

**"Eat your own dog food"** - If we don't trust ggen to fix ggen, why should anyone else?

**Result:** Production-safe code, automated validation, and proof that ggen works!
