Windsurf · Cascade flows on org Git
A Windsurf project that looks right after Cascade plans, multi-file edits, and terminal runs is still a lab until the local repo lives under org Git, secrets leave the editor session, and publish authority is your host CI—not “Cascade finished and the preview looks green.” Production means Cascade flows that survive a clean checkout: lockfiles pinned, Source Control history on an org remote, and journeys that boot without reopening Windsurf. You keep the features Cascade already proved; you stop treating a warm Windsurf preview as the release bar.

Review methodologyCitation-ready answer
CodeCross LLC casts windsurf-to-production as making Windsurf Cascade flows, the local repo, and org Git behave like durable prod—not like a warm Windsurf editor preview. Operators pin Auth redirects and env to an origin they control, then prove the same journeys after Cascade sessions close. Done means the primary journey completes on that domain with secrets injected by the host, not only inside a Cascade chat.
What a warm Windsurf preview hides
Windsurf compresses plan → multi-file edit → terminal into one session. Real traffic exposes lockfiles that never left the laptop, Auth still aimed at localhost, and a journey that dies when Cascade closes.
A plan that rendered and a terminal that exited 0 inside Windsurf does not prove a second engineer can clone the tree. Production starts when those same steps run on a clean checkout.
If the org remote is missing or personal, rollback still means “undo the last Cascade flow in my editor.” Protected main on an org remote is the missing artifact.
Env names Cascade assumed during a flow are not destination secrets. Host injection has to replace editor-session values before you advertise a domain.
Availability that requires an open Windsurf window is still a lab. The destination process must stay up after Cascade sessions pause.
The Cascade-to-org-Git pass we actually run
Keep the features Cascade already proved. Move publish authority to org Git and a host that injects env. Windsurf stays a Cascade workshop until that origin is proven.
01
Lockfiles pinned. A teammate who never opened Windsurf can install and build. Write which Cascade flows owned which paths so CI does not invent structure.
02
Copy names, mint fresh values, and stop treating the editor session as the production bag. Auth callbacks list only the origin you advertise.
03
Budget single-machine lock-in if Cascade still deploys from one laptop. Prefer external CI when rollback and second-engineer deploys matter.
04
Logs tag a CI release. Auth fails closed when env is wrong. If those hold, Cascade-shaped UX stays; Windsurf preview is no longer the bar.
How to
Org Git, destination secrets, and journeys that survive a closed Windsurf window. Success is the primary path completing on the advertised domain.
Step 01
Keep the Cascade-proved features if they still match what operators will buy. Do not treat a green preview after a Cascade session as durable ownership.
Step 02
Source Control history leaves the laptop. Document which Cascade flows touched which modules so a second engineer can navigate the tree.
Step 03
Mint new secret values. Split sandbox from production. Never treat Cascade chat as the archive.
Step 04
Remove localhost and personal Windsurf preview URLs from allowlists only after login and writes pass from a clean checkout.
Step 05
Signup, session, and one write on the named domain. Confirm logs tag your host or CI. Cascade is then optional for availability.

Cascade “done” inside Windsurf means the plan rendered, multi-file edits applied, and terminal steps succeeded in that session. Shipped means the same tree builds from a clean checkout on org Git, secrets come from the destination host, and closing Windsurf does not take the journey offline. Treat green preview as evidence of intent—not as the release artifact.
If commits never left one laptop’s Windsurf Source Control, if the org remote is missing or personal, or if rollback means “undo the last Cascade flow in my editor,” the folder is still a workshop. Production requires protected main on an org remote, review of Cascade multi-file diffs before merge, and a release path that does not require opening Windsurf.
Yes. List install, test, and start commands Cascade ran successfully; pin runtimes in version files or the base image; fail CI if those steps only work inside an open Windsurf session. Env names Cascade assumed must map to destination secrets, and Auth callbacks must list your domain—not localhost or a personal preview tunnel.
Signup → session → write on the custom domain with production secrets from a clean checkout; logs tag a CI release; Auth fails closed when env is wrong; closing Windsurf leaves the origin healthy. If those hold, Cascade-shaped UX stays and the control plane has matured past Windsurf preview.
Bring the Cascade flow list and the org remote story. We will say whether this week is an owned origin — or another green preview pretending to be production.
