Check the input before parsing it.
In this example, an empty value reaches a parser that expects a date. Validate at the boundary so a malformed request returns a clear error.
Next stepAdd a validation check before the parse call.

05 / A few good questions
BEFORE
THE FIRST
BARK.
What happens after I install the App?
Installation grants the App access to the repositories you select. Those exact repositories also need activation by the service operator before Code Pup can review them.
Is the BYOK membership available now?
Not yet. Provider keys are configured by the service operator today. Customer key onboarding and membership enrollment are planned.
Does membership include model usage?
The membership model separates service access from model usage. Your model provider bills usage separately under your own account.
What is shared with a model provider?
The reviewed diff and configured context are sent to the selected external model provider. Keys are configured server side today. Evaluate the selected provider’s data and retention policies for your code.
Does a completed review mean approval?
No. Review completion and approval are different states. Read the findings, checked scope, and relevant limits before deciding what to merge.
Where can I find the Code Pup identity?
The brandbook covers the original identity, colors, mascot, and status marks, with downloadable assets.
