Lovable · Tighten in place
Not every Lovable app needs an exit this month. If you can still explain who can see what, the cheaper proof is to wrap the risky journeys — sign-in, passwords, a way to turn off a bad publish — and leave migrate for when the risk says so. This page is that wrap. You stay on Lovable for now.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
Lovable MVP hardening means you keep the generated app and wrap the journeys that take money or personal data. Who can read another person’s row. Whether a backup actually restores. Whether a bad publish can be turned off. Migration can wait when you can still explain the app and the risk sits in a few places. Hardening fails when passwords stay in chat or permission only lives in hidden buttons.
When in-place is honest
If you cannot say who can read a row, or keys still live in the chat, stop calling it hardening. That is a rewrite trigger with a friendlier name.
Every list and detail view gets a real check, not just a hidden button. Filtering on the screen is not the wrap.
If the default data still lives with Lovable, prove a copy lands somewhere you control and matches expected counts.
A flag, a setting, or a prior version. “We will prompt a fix” is not an off switch.
Rotate, move, and verify the public app. If passwords cannot leave the generated tree, you are no longer hardening.
The in-place week
Unreviewed feature expansion on money, identity, or other people’s data freezes until the wrap exists. Cosmetic screens can wait in Lovable.
01
Write the matrix. Test that changing an ID does not show another account’s records. Keep that test.
02
Whatever hosts the data today, copy it out, restore it, and complete signup or checkout on the copy.
03
A flag or setting someone can flip without a Lovable publish. Write the steps as if the author is asleep.
04
Marketing blocks and empty states can still be prompted. Billing, invites, and file access cannot until the wrap is green.
How to
Keep the generated app. Wrap sign-in, recovery, and an off switch on the journeys that take money or personal data.
Step 01
No new prompts on billing, invites, file access, or admin until the access matrix has tests. Cosmetic surfaces may continue.
Step 02
Enforce who can see whose data on every read and write. Add a test that changing an ID does not leak another account — and keep it.
Step 03
Copy, load, compare counts, and complete the core journey on the copy. A backup you have not restored is not hardening.
Step 04
Flag, setting, or prior version. Someone on call must turn the risky feature off without opening a prompt.
Step 05
Allow generation on surfaces that do not touch money, identity, or other people’s data. Send leave or rewrite triggers to those pages instead of burying them in a backlog.

Working sign-in for real accounts, passwords out of chat, a restore you have actually tried, basic watching for errors, and an off switch for the riskiest feature. Ads and strangers multiply whatever you skip.
Sign-in must survive an old session and a brand-new signup. Passwords must leave the prompt thread and stay out of the public app. Rotate anything that has been pasted into chat. Hidden login buttons are not a plan.
Someone gets told when sign-in fails, payments retry oddly, or error rates spike — without opening Lovable to notice. A shared inbox or alert channel beats hoping the next visitor reports it.
If you ship a phone app later: who owns the store listing, who can answer reviewer questions, and whether privacy and sign-in match what the stores expect. For a web MVP, the cousin is: can you undo a bad publish without a new prompt.
Bring the paid or invite path and whoever still has the Publish button. We will name the first wrap — and whether migrate can wait.
