# How to Request Attack Mode

> Submit your contracts for DAO approval to enter attack mode

## Overview

After deploying contracts and creating an agreement, request attack mode to enable Safe Harbor protection and allow whitehats to test your contracts.

## Prerequisites

Before requesting:

1. Contracts deployed (via `BattleChainDeployer` or any other method)
2. Agreement created via `AgreementFactory`
3. Agreement adopted via `adoptSafeHarbor()`
4. Commitment window extends at least 7 days

## Request Attack Mode

```solidity theme={null}
attackRegistry.requestUnderAttack(agreementAddress);
```

This validates:

* Agreement was created by official factory
* You're the agreement owner
* All contracts were deployed via BattleChainDeployer
* Commitment window meets minimum requirements

## For Non-BattleChainDeployer Contracts

If contracts weren't deployed via BattleChainDeployer:

```solidity theme={null}
attackRegistry.requestUnderAttackByNonAuthorized(agreementAddress);
```

<Warning>
  This path requires extra DAO scrutiny since there's no on-chain proof of deployment.
</Warning>

## Skip Attack Mode Entirely

To go directly to production without attack testing:

```solidity theme={null}
attackRegistry.goToProduction(agreementAddress);
```

This immediately sets state to `PRODUCTION` with no Safe Harbor protection.

## Check Request Status

```solidity theme={null}
IAttackRegistry.ContractState state = attackRegistry.getAgreementState(agreementAddress);

// 2 = ATTACK_REQUESTED (waiting for DAO)
// 3 = UNDER_ATTACK (approved!)
// 0 = NOT_DEPLOYED (rejected or not requested)
```

## What Happens Next

| Outcome             | Timeline                              |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| DAO Approves        | Immediate → `UNDER_ATTACK`            |
| DAO Rejects         | Immediate → `NOT_DEPLOYED`            |
| DAO Takes No Action | 14 days → `PRODUCTION` (auto-promote) |

## Troubleshooting

| Error                         | Solution                                           |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `InvalidAgreement`            | Agreement not from official factory                |
| `NotAgreementOwner`           | Only agreement owner can request                   |
| `AgreementOwnerNotAuthorized` | Call `authorizeAgreementOwner()` for each contract |
| `InsufficientCommitment`      | Extend commitment window to 7+ days                |
| `EmptyContractArray`          | Add contracts to agreement's BattleChain scope     |
