The `main.go` in `cmd/util/doc-gen` uses `panic(err)` for error handling, which can cause abrupt program termination and may leak sensitive information in stack traces if the error contains internal paths or configuration details. Signed-off-by: tomaioo <203048277+tomaioo@users.noreply.github.com>

Thanks, this is fine. However, the panic was not a big problem, given that the tool is only executed for development purposes by project contributors. Not really a security issue at all.
