Rocket.new · Owned origin after Staging Launch
A Rocket.new Build that looks finished after Chat, Visual edit, and Code—and after Launch to a staging or Rocket-hosted production URL—is still a lab until the Next.js or Flutter tree lives under org Git (or a normalized ZIP extract), Supabase schemas and Auth callbacks sit on credentials you administer, and publish authority is your CI—not only Rocket’s Launch panel. Production means Build DNA that survives a clean checkout: connectors remapped, staging≠prod proven, and journeys that boot without reopening Rocket. You keep the product Rocket already generated; you stop treating a green Launch click as the release bar.

Review methodologyCitation-ready answer
CodeCross LLC frames rocket-to-production as lifting Rocket.new Build output—Next.js web or Flutter mobile, generated schemas, and connectors—from Rocket Launch hosting to an owned origin. Operators pin custom domains, Auth, and env to that origin, then prove primary journeys after Rocket closes. Done when CI injects secrets from a GitHub Sync or ZIP tree and Rocket hosting is optional for availability.
What a green Staging Launch hides
Rocket compresses Build → Chat → Visual edit → Launch into one shell. Real traffic exposes Chat-only routes that never hit disk, Staging env still serving buyers, and a Launch click that is the only rollback.
If the Next.js or Flutter tree only exists inside Rocket Context, a second engineer cannot install from a clean checkout. Lockfiles and source have to leave the editor first.
Screens that exist only as Rocket Context vanish on extract. Open Code view, confirm files match the live preview, and drop unlabeled experiments before you buy a domain.
Tables, RLS, and Auth redirects the Build generated must be administered under org accounts—or the frontend you just Launched orphans the moment Rocket closes.
If the only reverse is “open Rocket and Launch again,” you do not have a release. CI from GitHub Sync or ZIP must restore a named artifact.
The Sync-or-ZIP pass we actually run
Keep the generated Next.js or Flutter screens. Move ship authority to a checkout that injects Production env. Rocket remains a Build workshop until that origin is proven—or until Rocket Production Launch is a written decision.
01
Prefer two-way GitHub Sync for Next.js TypeScript while iteration continues; ZIP when you are ejecting cleanly. Pin lockfiles. A teammate who never opened Rocket can install and build.
02
Anything edited only on the visual surface or in chat must land in source before cutover. Fail CI if critical routes exist only as Rocket Context.
03
Copy names from both tabs (web `.env` / mobile `env.json`), mint fresh values, and stop treating the panel as the production vault. Stripe and Supabase Staging values never ride to buyers.
04
Logs tag a CI release or owned deploy. If those hold, Build DNA stays; Staging Launch is no longer the control plane.
How to
GitHub Sync or ZIP, Production env, and a named host. Success is the primary journey completing after you close Rocket—or documenting Rocket Production Launch as the chosen prod.
Step 01
Keep the Next.js or Flutter screens if they still match what operators will buy. Do not treat a green Rocket-hosted URL as durable ownership.
Step 02
Document which connectors (Stripe, Supabase, email, AI) the Build wired. Chat/Visual edit changes that never left Context must be committed or explicitly dropped.
Step 03
Mint new secret values. Split sandbox from production. Never commit the Rocket Environment dump.
Step 04
Remove Rocket Staging hostnames from allowlists only after login and writes pass on the advertised domain.
Step 05
Signup, session, and one write on the named domain. Confirm logs tag your host or CI. Rocket Launch is then optional for availability.

Staging Launch proves Build, Visual edit, and connectors render on Rocket’s host. It does not prove you own a portable Next.js/Flutter tree, can rotate Stripe or Supabase secrets without every editor opening Rocket, or can roll back without Launch UI. Custom domain on Rocket hosting without org Git is still platform runtime—not owned deploy.
The extracted tree must install and build from a clean checkout with lockfiles pinned. Supabase (or equivalent) schema and Auth redirects must list only your production domain. Chat/Visual edit changes that never left Rocket Context must be committed or explicitly dropped. Prefer GitHub Sync for Next.js when two-way iteration continues; ZIP when you are ejecting cleanly.
Anything edited only in Visual edit or in chat must land in source before cutover. Open Code view, confirm files match the live preview, and fail CI if critical routes exist only as Rocket Context. Document which connectors (Stripe, Supabase, email, AI) the Build wired so CI does not invent integrations.
Tables, RLS, and Auth redirect URLs the Build generated must be administered under org credentials—or migrated deliberately. Point OAuth and webhooks at your destination origin; verify on a clean runner. If schemas only exist inside Rocket’s managed path and you never exported ownership, closing Rocket orphans the frontend you just Launched.
Bring the GitHub Sync remote or ZIP and the custom-domain story. We will say whether this week is an owned origin — or another Launch click pretending to be production.
