Tempo · Keep the design
You are ready to stop depending on Tempo as the place releases come from. That does not mean scrap the screens people already like. It means keep the design — the look, the tokens, the flows — and leave the live-editor limits behind. This page is that exit: your emit, your packages, your build, proved before you cancel the sync habit.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
Getting off Tempo as ship source means your product can ship when the editor is closed. You hold the emit, you can change tokens yourself, the build runs without live sync, and you have already practiced a restore. Copying pretty screens is not an exit. An exit is a day that still works after you stop opening the design surface to publish.
Where exits go wrong
Screens move. Token ownership, sync habits, preview sign-in, and the habit of “tweak and publish from the editor” do not move unless you plan them.
If the repo, the site name, and the design billing still sit under one personal login, you copied files. You did not leave.
A late design publish can overwrite reviewed work. Inventory sync before you pull the habit.
People who only ever used the preview path may not survive a host change. Plan the door before you change the public address.
Status and a way to turn off a bad release must live on something you run — not “open the editor and republish.”
The exit we actually run
Emit, packages, build, and undo — then practice a day with the editor closed.
01
Billing and DNS leave personal accounts.
02
No more “whatever is open in the editor” as production.
03
Second engineer installs and ships without editor admin.
04
Only then retire editor-publish as the recovery playbook.
How to
Cut editor dependence. Keep the look. Prove a day without it.
Step 01
Unpublished experiments, sync settings, preview secrets, share links.
Step 02
Second admin named.
Step 03
Editor closed.
Step 04
Sign-in, writes, and undo.
Step 05
Support knows the old recovery habit. Then retire it.

Because speed in the editor is not the same as a team-safe build and review that survive staff changes. Keep the validated screens; relocate ship onto packages and checks that do not need the editor open.
One authoritative emit, token package ownership, env inventories, sync disablement, and a list of design-complete vs WIP screens. Deploy keys must not stay trapped in one designer login.
Stay: proven screens, tokens, and flows people already like. Rebuild: sync policy, package boundaries, secret stores, and anything that only existed as a share-link stub.
Usually yes — if remotes, billing, and DNS already sit with the org (or we transfer them). Continuity means no reset of production while you professionalize the build path.
Bring the emit state, whether sync is armed, and who can publish today. We prove a day with the editor closed before we retire it.
