🚀 Quick Start

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dx-forge = "0.1.0"

Basic Usage

use dx_forge::*;

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Initialize forge
    initialize_forge()?;
    
    // Register your tool
    struct MyTool;
    impl DxTool for MyTool {
        fn name(&self) -> &str { "my-tool" }
        fn version(&self) -> &str { "1.0.0" }
        fn priority(&self) -> u32 { 50 }
        
        fn execute(&mut self, ctx: &ExecutionContext) -> anyhow::Result<ToolOutput> {
            // Your tool logic here
            Ok(ToolOutput::success())
        }
    }
    
    register_tool(Box::new(MyTool))?;
    
    // Execute pipeline
    execute_pipeline("default")?;
    
    // Shutdown gracefully
    shutdown_forge()?;
    
    Ok(())
}

🎯 Why DX Forge?

The Problem

Traditional developer tools suffer from:

Bloated node_modules directories
Breaking changes in updates
Poor offline support
Manual configuration hell
Fragmented tool ecosystems

The Solution

DX Forge provides:

Zero-bloat component injection - Only inject what's needed
Traffic-branch safety - Automatic conflict prevention
Offline-first architecture - Works anywhere, anytime
Configuration magic - One-click complete configs
Unified orchestration - All tools work together

📦 What's Inside

Orchestrator: Priority-based tool execution with dependency resolution
Dual-Watcher: LSP + file system monitoring with debouncing
Traffic Branch System: Green/Yellow/Red conflict resolution
Storage Layer: Content-addressable blobs with R2 cloud sync
Version Manager: Semantic versioning with compatibility checking
Pattern Detector: Identifies DX tool patterns in source code
Injection Manager: Fetches and caches components from storage
Event Bus: Global event streaming for observability

🔧 Configuration Magic Example

The killer feature - instant config injection:

// User types "style:" in dx.toml
let config = inject_full_config_section_at_cursor("style")?;

// Instantly expands to:
/*
[style]
# Style tooling configuration
processor = "tailwind"  # tailwind | css | scss
autoprefixer = true
minify = true

[style.tailwind]
config = "tailwind.config.js"
content = ["./src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}"]
*/

🚦 Traffic Branch Safety

Automatic conflict prevention with color-coded safety:

let changes = vec![/* file changes */];

// Apply with automatic branching safety
let applied = apply_changes(changes)?;

// Or preview first
let preview = preview_proposed_changes(changes)?;
// Shows: 🟢 Safe files, 🟡 Review needed, 🔴 Manual resolution
