Windsurf · Public Cascade wrap
A public URL backed by Cascade-generated code invites scrapers, leaked chat secrets, and unreviewed multi-file diffs the week you share it. Before campaigns, seal secrets out of Cascade transcripts, require human review before plans hit main, lock who can push the org remote, and decide editor preview cost versus owned compute. Keep the MVP surface; close the doors Cascade defaults leave open.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
Tightening means the public URL stays up while you close risky Cascade-built journeys. Secrets leave chat. Sign-in holds for people who never opened Windsurf. Org remote ACLs no longer allow force-push whatever Cascade produced. Watching flags abuse. You can kill a bad release without reopening Cascade. Exit pages wait until stranger tests fail that bar.
When the Cascade wrap is still honest
If secrets still sit only in Cascade chat, or strangers can burn quota from the public URL, this is not a wrap. Pick migrate or to-production instead.
Those need real Auth on the public hostname — not a button you hide in the editor.
Require human review before Cascade plans merge. Kill force-push whatever Cascade produced.
Prefer a locked production hostname; keep Windsurf preview private. Auth callbacks must match what you advertise.
Rotate anything that appeared in transcripts. If secrets cannot leave the editor session, you are past hardening.
The public Cascade wrap week
Keep the current workflow. Prove secrets out, Auth, watching, and an abuse kill switch before ads.
01
Start there. Marketing screens wait.
02
Rotate anything that appeared in history.
03
Know when the primary journey fails. Stop bots burning quota.
04
If stranger tests still fail after the wrap, migrate is the honest next page.
How to
Lock risk on the current setup. Stay until evidence says leave.
Step 01
Those are the lock targets — not polished Cascade screens.
Step 02
Auth callbacks match the public hostname. Kill demo bypasses.
Step 03
Fresh values outside the public bundle.
Step 04
Rate limits, feature flag, or blocked track — before ads.
Step 05
Keep Windsurf or leave based on what still broke.

Anonymous callers hammer paid API routes Cascade wired without rate limits; bots probe staging Auth still pointing at localhost allowlists; and Cascade chat history shared in screenshots exposes keys. Public hostnames are easy to discover once linked. Assume the URL is hostile until rate limits, Auth, and remote ACLs say otherwise.
Secrets only in host env or vault — never in Cascade prompts, chat exports, or committed configs Cascade wrote. Rotate anything that appeared in Cascade history. Require human review of multi-file plans before merge to main. Separate developer personal keys from the production bag so a laptop leak is not a prod leak.
Require protected main on the org remote; kill “force-push whatever Cascade produced.” Prefer a locked production hostname for customers and keep Windsurf preview private. Auth callbacks must match the public hostname you advertise — not a personal preview or localhost tunnel Cascade used during a flow.
When secrets cannot leave Cascade transcripts, when you cannot protect main from unreviewed multi-file plans, or when you cannot name which journeys touch money. Then migrate or to-production is the honest page — not another wrap week.
Bring which journeys take money, where Cascade chat still holds keys, and how you would stop a bad merge without reopening Cascade. We lock before we talk migrate.
