Epic: CodeCora V2 Migration — TypeScript V1 to Rust V2 Open Core

[ajianaz]

Overview

Migrate CodeCora from TypeScript V1 (SaaS, token billing) to Rust V2 (Open Core, BYOK).

Goal: Unify the CodeCora brand around the open-source cora-cli Rust tool. Replace the V1 TypeScript SaaS product that underperformed with the V2 open-core BYOK approach.

Scope

What Exists (V1)

• GitHub App: apps/code-cora (TypeScript backend, SaaS)
• Website: codecora.dev (SaaS landing page, pricing, testimonials)
• npm: @codecora/cli (TypeScript wrapper)
• Org: codecoradev (GitHub, 0 repos)
• Pricing: FREE 1M tokens + PRO $5/mo

What We're Building (V2)

• GitHub App: apps/code-cora (Rust backend, BYOK)
• Website: codecora.dev → cora-cli embedded website (open source messaging)
• Install: binary download (cargo / GitHub Releases)
• Repo: codecoradev/cora-cli
• Model: Open source (MIT), BYOK, no billing

Timeline

Week	Focus	Key Issues
W1	Foundation: repo transfer + branding	Repo transfer, URL updates, action refs
W2	Website overhaul + GitHub App backend	Content rebrand, CF Pages deploy, Rust backend MVP
W3	Integration test + launch	E2E test, app listing update, launch verification

Key Decisions

#	Decision	Choice	Rationale
1	SaaS billing	Remove for now	Open core first, monetize later
2	GitHub App backend	Rust (new)	Reuse cora-cli library, BYOK
3	Website	cora-cli/website → codecora.dev	Single source of truth
4	npm @codecora/cli	Deprecate	Binary download replaces it
5	Repo location	codecoradev/cora-cli	Brand alignment
