Rescue by tool
Windsurf rescue
Windsurf moves fast and does not enforce much on its own. Tenancy gets skipped, the same insecure snippet gets pasted around, the deploy pipeline never quite finishes. Same salvage approach as the other tools: severity first, then a scope you can budget.
What we keep seeing in Windsurf projects
- Features added before anyone reviewed tenancy
- The same insecure snippet pasted into several files
- A pipeline that does not actually ship
- Stripe edge cases left for later
- Nothing stopping the next AI edit from reopening a hole

Same path as Vibe Code Rescue: about 48 hours to look, a severity ranking, then a fixed scope if you want the work done. Knowing the tool mostly means less of that time goes to surprises.
FAQ
Can you fix a Windsurf-built app without rewriting it?
Often, yes, for a large part of the product. We will not promise that before we have seen it. The diagnostic says what to keep. The quote covers security, auth, data, and payments first.
How much does Windsurf rescue cost?
Same ladder as the rest of the rescue work: diagnostic free–$500, audit $299–$2,500, focused rescue $500–$12,500+. The numbers are on /pricing/.
