Verify the current entry point

The windsurf.com address redirected to Devin Desktop during this check. This establishes a changed public destination, not how an older installation, subscription, or enterprise agreement migrates.

Evaluate a bounded code change

Use a non-sensitive repository with a known test suite. Request one fix, inspect the diff, and run the relevant tests. Check ignored files and whether the agent changes dependencies without justification. Keep a clean commit or backup before repository-wide actions.

Review workspace controls

Use official installation and migration instructions for the actual version. Confirm what code leaves the machine and what commands need approval. Avoid transferring credentials solely because a legacy URL redirects. Compare the working experience with your current editor before a team-wide move, including failed tests, interrupted sessions, and recovery from an unwanted change.
