## 🎯 See It In Action

**Before AutoFix (Broken):**

x = 5
if x > 3 # ❌ Missing colon
print('Greater')

import missing_module # ❌ Module not found

**After AutoFix (Fixed):**

x = 5
if x > 3: # ✅ Colon added
print('Greater')

import missing_module # ✅ Module created

## ⚠️ Known Limitations

AutoFix v1.0 is production-ready for common Python error fixing.

### Error Detection
- **Runtime-based only**: Detects errors during script execution, not static analysis
- **Sequential processing**: Handles one error at a time (Python limitation)
- **Executed code only**: Functions/code that never runs won't be analyzed

### Error Types
- **Auto-fix**: SyntaxError, ModuleNotFoundError, IndentationError, TabError
- **Suggestions only**: IndexError, KeyError, TypeError (require manual review)
- **Limited**: Complex nested logic, deeply nested if-else structures

### File Operations
- **Single file**: One file at a time (v1.0 limitation)
- **In-place modification**: Edits files directly (automatic backups created)
- **File size**: Tested up to 500 lines, best for < 500 lines

### Technical
- **Scope**: Python-only error fixing (by design)
- **Internet dependency**: Required for pip installs and Firebase metrics
- **Unicode/BOM**: Windows BOM issues auto-fixed
- **Heuristic fixes**: Pattern-based, may not cover all edge cases

### Best Suited For
✅ Small to medium Python scripts (< 500 lines)
✅ Common errors (syntax, imports, indentation)
✅ Development and learning environments
✅ Single-file scripts

### Not Recommended For
⚠️ Production critical systems without testing
⚠️ Large codebases (500+ lines per file) without review
⚠️ Complex business logic errors
⚠️ Static type checking (use mypy/Pylance)

For detailed information, see [KNOWN_ISSUES.md](KNOWN_ISSUES.md).
For testing results, see [TESTING.md](TESTING.md).

## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

<details>
<summary><b>Is this safe for my code?</b></summary>

✅ **Yes!** AutoFix creates automatic backups (.bak files) before any modification.  
⚠️ **However:** Always use version control (git) as an extra safety layer.

Backups are stored as `your_file.py.bak` in the same directory.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Can I undo changes?</b></summary>

✅ **Three ways to undo:**
1. Use the `.bak` file created automatically
2. Use `git restore your_file.py` (if using git)
3. Use your editor's undo (Ctrl+Z)

Example:

Restore from backup
cp your_script.py.bak your_script.py

Or use git
git restore your_script.py

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>How is this different from ChatGPT/Claude?</b></summary>

| | AutoFix | AI (ChatGPT/Claude) |
|---|---|---|
| **Speed** | < 5 seconds | 10-30 seconds |
| **Approach** | Deterministic patterns | Context understanding |
| **Cost** | Free | Token-based |
| **Offline** | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Consistency** | Same fix every time | May vary |

**Best together:** Use AutoFix for quick fixes, AI for complex refactoring!
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>What if AutoFix breaks my code?</b></summary>

1. ✅ Check the `.bak` file
2. ✅ Use `git diff` to see exactly what changed
3. ✅ Rollback with `git restore`
4. 📝 [Report the issue](https://github.com/YourUsername/autofix-python-engine/issues) with:
   - Original code
   - Fixed code
   - Expected behavior

We track all reported issues for continuous improvement!
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Can it handle large projects?</b></summary>

**v1.0:** Single file at a time  
**v1.1 (planned):** Directory-level processing  
**v1.5 (planned):** Multi-file batch support

**Workaround for now:**

Fix multiple files
for file in *.py; do
python -m autofix.cli.autofix_cli_interactive "$file" --auto-fix
done

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Does it work with my IDE?</b></summary>

**Currently:** Command-line tool  
**Future (v3.0):** VSCode extension, JetBrains plugin

**Use now with your IDE:**
- Run AutoFix from integrated terminal
- Or set up as external tool
- Works great with VSCode, PyCharm, etc.
</details>
