Behind the scenes
Sectioned milestones from IDE extension to Mission Control, public wiki, and contributor welcome.
Long-form behind-the-scenes arc for Cursor Curse Monitor — how the monorepo, Mission Control, CI/CD, procedure workflow, and public surfaces grew together. The home #engineering section is the short version; this page is the timeline.
2026-08 · Origin
Cursor Curse Monitor started as a VS Code / Cursor wrapper extension: local-first usage meters, budget caps, and Composer fallback — tokens never leave the machine. Early releases landed on Open VSX and the VS Code Marketplace under Lorapok Labs.
Browser surface
The browser extension reused shared quota logic from @lorapok/cursor-monitor-shared, shipping on Firefox AMO with a Chrome zip channel. Popup and options carry the same privacy-first model as the IDE host.
Mission Control
Mission Control (admin SPA on Cloudflare Pages) became the ops surface: notices, mailbox, marketplace sync, settings hubs, and deploy controls. Firebase auth + RBAC gate the dashboard; Pages Functions own the API.
CI / CD
A single ci-cd.yml pipeline covers resolve-version → tests → tag prep → marketplace publish → admin + marketing deploy → Discord notify and social gallery queue. Architecture wiki diagrams stay in sync with job names.
Procedure + agents
Non-trivial work opens a procedure/ file and a GitHub issue on Project #4. Agents say Update? for status and next for the top queue item. Cred vault sync scripts keep secrets out of git and CI logs.
Public face
Marketing home gained live stats, expanded topology (WEB-07), behind-the-scenes (WEB-08), and multi-page wiki/releases/community/docs (WEB-09). Chrysalis (Larvae) is the floating product assistant brand across site and Mission Control.
Open source welcome
WEB-10 put CONTRIBUTING, good-first issues, and Project #4 on marketing footers, hero/subscribe CTAs, IDE and browser footers, options, and Chrysalis — so newcomers can join without hunting.
