Vibe-Code App Rescue & Production Stabilization
Aquarel rescues broken Vibe-Coded Apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, and v0 that have hit the last 20% production wall. Principal Engineer Dositej Grbović locks down Supabase Row-Level Security, stabilizes authentication and Stripe billing, untangles AI spaghetti, and ships a Vibe-Safe Handover in 1–2 weeks from $1,000–$1,500.
Symptom → Root Cause → Surgical Fix Table (Lovable, Bolt.new / v0, Claude Code)
| What You Experience | Why the AI Agent / App Is Stuck | Aquarel's Surgical Engineering Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Every new AI prompt fixes one feature and breaks two existing screens or workflows | 3,000-line monolithic god-components, circular state hooks, and zero CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md architectural boundaries. | Extract modular domain services, freeze core auth and billing logic, and install repository-level Vibe-Safe guardrails. |
| Users get randomly logged out, magic links fail, or database tables are exposed to the public | Disabled Supabase Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, leaked service_role keys in client bundles, and broken SSR session cookies. | Enforce tenant-scoped PostgreSQL RLS policies, rotate exposed secrets, and harden server-side session refresh middleware. |
| Customers pay on Stripe checkout, but their account tier or credits never unlock in the app | Unverified webhook signatures, non-idempotent race conditions, and client-side fulfillment instead of server webhooks. | Implement signature-verified, idempotent Stripe webhook handlers backed by atomic database transactions. |
| Works in the browser preview sandbox, but fails next build or crashes on production deployment | Server-only imports leaked into Client Components, unvalidated environment variables, and missing CI build verification. | Separate client and server module boundaries, configure staging preview pipelines, and lock in zero-error builds. |

Why 80%-Done Vibe-Coded Apps Hit the Production Wall
AI coding platforms like Lovable, Bolt.new, Claude Code, Cursor, Replit Agent, and v0 let non-technical founders build functional prototypes in days. However, once the application reaches roughly 80% completion, context-window saturation causes the AI assistant to inline database queries inside UI components, disable Supabase Row-Level Security to bypass permission errors, and break working features on every new prompt.
The Surgical Alternative to a $50,000 Agency Rewrite
Traditional software agencies reject AI-generated codebases because junior developers struggle to diagnose cross-cutting auth, RLS, and webhook bugs—so they pitch a multi-month rewrite from scratch. At Aquarel, I step in personally as your Principal Engineer to keep the 80% of your UI and schema that already works, surgically remediate the broken 20% in isolated staging Pull Requests, and hand back a Vibe-Safe repository you can launch and iterate on with confidence.

Every audit and sprint includes a plain-English video walkthrough of the root cause and the fix—zero jargon.
100% IP & Vibe-Safe Handover
You own all code, keys, and custom CLAUDE.md & AGENTS.md guardrails so future prompts never break production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix my AI-built app without rewriting the whole codebase from scratch? +
Yes. In almost every Vibe-Coded App we audit, 80% of the UI and database schema is worth keeping. Instead of pitching a $40,000 agency rewrite, I isolate the broken 20%—security, auth, billing, and monolithic components—and fix it surgically.
What happens before I share GitHub or Supabase access? +
We speak first on a free 20-minute Triage Call (or asynchronously via email), you verify my direct credentials, and we sign a mutual NDA before any repository access is granted.
Will I still be able to use Lovable, Claude Code, or Cursor after the Rescue Sprint? +
Absolutely. Every sprint concludes with a Vibe-Safe Handover including custom CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .cursorrules files that prevent AI coding tools from breaking your core auth, database, or billing modules.
How much does a Vibe-Code App Rescue Sprint cost? +
Your initial 48-hour Codebase Audit is $0. Fixed-scope Rescue Sprints start at $1,000–$1,500+ for a 1–2 week turnaround, and 24–48h Emergency Stabilization Fast-Tracks start at $1,500.
What if my app combines multiple AI coding tools like Lovable for UI and Claude Code or Cursor for backend logic? +
Multi-tool workflows are our specialty. I unify your GitHub repository structure, reconcile conflicting database migrations, and install synchronized CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .cursorrules files so every tool obeys the same architectural rules.
