Rocket.new · Public Staging wrap

Harden the public Rocket.new Build: visibility, env tabs, and connector controls before campaigns

Public Staging Launch links and open task visibility turn connector routes into free infrastructure for bots. Before campaigns, seal Production env, put Auth in front of mutating Supabase routes, lock who can Launch → Production, and decide credit burn versus owned compute. Keep the MVP surface; close the doors Rocket defaults leave open.

In plain words

Answer you can cite

Tightening means the public Launch URL stays up while you close risky Build journeys. Production env is sealed. Sign-in holds for people who never opened the task. Staging fails closed for strangers. Watching flags credit and connector abuse. You can kill a bad Launch without waiting on another Chat turn. Exit pages wait until stranger tests fail that bar.

When the Rocket wrap is still honest

Stay on Rocket when you can still name the risky journeys

If Production secrets still sit only in shared tabs, or task visibility is public for editable work, this is not a wrap. Pick migrate or to-production instead.

  • Build journeys that take money or personal data

    Those need real Auth on the hostname users hit — not a button you hide in Visual edit.

  • Task visibility public for editable work

    Set tasks private; share only locked Staging or Production URLs intentionally.

  • Staging env mistaken for Production

    Separate Stripe test vs live and Supabase preview vs prod so a Staging leak is not a Production leak.

  • Environment-tab secrets end the stay path

    Rotate anything that appeared in collaborator history. If secrets cannot leave Chat or custom-code snippets, you are past hardening.

The public Staging wrap week

Close risky journeys before the next Production Launch

Keep the current task. Prove visibility, Auth, watching, and a credit kill switch before ads.

01

Inventory journeys that take money or personal data

Start there. Marketing screens wait.

02

Drain secrets from Chat, custom-code, and Environment dumps

Rotate anything that appeared in history.

03

Add watching plus a connector / credit kill switch

Know when the primary journey fails. Stop bots burning credits or quota.

04

Decide stay vs leave from what broke

If stranger tests still fail after the wrap, migrate is the honest next page.

How to

How to harden a public Rocket.new Build before campaigns

Lock risk on the current setup. Stay until evidence says leave.

  1. Step 01

    List journeys that take money or personal data

    Those are the lock targets — not polished Chat screens.

  2. Step 02

    Require real signed-in sessions on those paths

    Tighten task visibility. Kill demo bypasses.

  3. Step 03

    Drain and rotate secrets that lived in Environment tabs

    Staging and Production both. Fresh values outside Chat.

  4. Step 04

    Install a Launch / credit off switch for a bad release

    Restrict who can Production Launch; cap connector spend — before ads.

  5. Step 05

    Re-test with stranger-like accounts, then decide

    Keep Rocket or leave based on what still broke.

How can a shared Staging task or public Remix invite abuse a Rocket Build before any ad spend?

Anonymous callers hammer Stripe or AI connector routes; bots probe public task visibility links; Staging Unpublish may be plan-gated while the URL stays discoverable; and shared Remix or task invites expose editor rights. Assume the URL is hostile until rate limits, Auth, and visibility settings say otherwise.

Which Staging/Production env-tab secrets and connector scopes must lock on a Rocket MVP?

Secrets only in Environment Staging/Production tabs or destination vault — never in Chat, custom-code snippets, or committed .env with real keys. Rotate anything that appeared in collaborator history. Restrict who can open Production env and Production Launch. Separate Stripe test vs live and Supabase preview vs prod so a Staging leak is not a Production leak.

How should Rocket task visibility and Staging vs Production differ for a public app?

Set task visibility private for editable work; share only locked Staging or Production URLs intentionally. Require real sessions on mutating routes; kill demo bypasses. Prefer Production custom domain for customers and keep Staging for internal QA. Auth callbacks and Stripe webhooks must match the public hostname you advertise — not a personal Staging link.

When do public task invites or Staging serving customers force a Rocket migrate over another harden week?

When secrets cannot leave Environment tabs or Chat, when you cannot lock who Production Launches, or when Staging env is still serving customer traffic. Then migrate or to-production is the honest page — not another wrap week.

Keep Rocket.new for now. Lock visibility, env tabs, and connector risk first.

Bring which journeys take money, where Staging vs Production secrets still mix, and how you would stop a bad Production Launch without another Chat turn. We lock before we talk migrate.
