Thanks for developing software. Can I use contigs files to fill in the gaps? To be specific ,--reads are contigs files such as output file of hifiasm. Can it be used like this?

Sorry for the late response. Absolutely Sure. You can use contigs as error-corrected long reads to fill the gaps in the genome. There is no need to further polish contigs before filling.
