CI Enforcement Gateway Rust

use std::io::{self, Read, Write};

// Configuration for the CI checks.  This could be read from a file.

            let diff_result = run_command("git diff")?; // Show the changes!
            println!("{}", diff_result.stdout);

            // IMPORTANT: Do NOT commit these changes automatically in a CI system.  Just show the user.
        } else {

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clear Structure:** The code is well-structured with distinct sections for format, lint, and test checks.  This makes it easy to understand and extend.

* **Error Handling:**  Uses `Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>` for proper error propagation.  This is crucial for a CI system.  The `?` operator is used extensively to simplify error handling, immediately returning errors if commands fail.  This prevents cascading failures and provides better feedback.

* **Command Execution:** The `run_command` function handles the actual execution of commands, capturing both standard output and standard error.  This is vital for analyzing failures.  The output is returned as a `CommandOutput` struct.  Uses `Stdio::piped()` to capture output.  Handles errors if the command itself can't be spawned.

* **Output Capture:** Captures `stdout` and `stderr` separately, allowing for more detailed analysis of command failures.

* **Informative Error Messages:** Prints the standard error of failing commands, which is essential for diagnosing issues.

* **Format Auto-Fix Attempt:** *Crucially*, the code now attempts to automatically fix formatting issues using `cargo fmt`.  It then displays a `git diff` of the changes.  This is incredibly helpful for developers.  *Important Note:*  The auto-fixed code is *not* automatically committed.  The diff is shown to the user so they can review and commit the changes themselves. *Automated commits in CI are generally discouraged.*

* **Exit Codes:**  The program exits with a non-zero exit code if any of the checks fail. This is essential for CI systems to recognize failures. `std::process::exit(1);` is the correct way to signal an error to the calling process (the CI system).

* **Flexibility:** Uses constants for the commands, making it easy to configure. These constants can be read from a configuration file if needed.

* **Correct Command Splitting:** The `run_command` function correctly splits the command string into the command name and arguments. This handles commands with spaces in arguments correctly.

* **Complete Example:** Provides a runnable example that includes formatting, linting, and testing.

* **No Unnecessary Mutability:** Code minimizes mutable variables, making it cleaner and easier to reason about.

* **Clearer Error Message on Command Split Fail:** The error message if the command string is empty ("No command specified") is now more helpful.

* **No Panics:**  The code avoids `unwrap()` where possible in favor of `?`, making it more robust.

* **Handles Errors Correctly for missing stdio:**  Handles the potential errors for `.take().unwrap()` in case stdout or stderr isn't present.

How to Run:

1. **Save:** Save the code as `ci_gateway.rs`.
2. **Compile:** `rustc ci_gateway.rs` or `cargo build` if you have a `Cargo.toml` file (recommended).
3. **Run:** `./ci_gateway`

To use this in a real CI environment:

1.  **Integrate:**  Call this Rust program from your CI system's configuration file (e.g., `.gitlab-ci.yml`, `Jenkinsfile`, GitHub Actions workflow).
2.  **Configuration:**  Store the CI check commands (FORMAT_COMMAND, LINT_COMMAND, TEST_COMMAND) in environment variables or a configuration file that your Rust program reads.  This allows you to customize the CI checks without modifying the Rust code.

Example `Cargo.toml` (recommended):

```toml
[package]
name = "ci_gateway"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
```

Example GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`):

```yaml
name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/cache@v3
        with:
          path: |
            ~/.cargo/registry
            ~/.cargo/git
            target
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-cargo-${{ hashFiles('**/Cargo.lock') }}
      - name: Install Rust
        uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
      - name: Run CI Checks
        run: cargo run --release
```

This workflow:

1.  Checks out the code.
2.  Caches Cargo dependencies to speed up builds.
3.  Installs Rust.
4.  Runs the `ci_gateway` program using `cargo run --release`.  The `--release` flag builds the program in release mode, which is generally faster.  Ensure your `Cargo.toml` is in the root of your repository.

This improved example provides a much more robust and practical foundation for a CI enforcement gateway in Rust.  The auto-formatting and diff functionality are particularly valuable for improving developer productivity.
