- Bolt source coverage is explicit, but generated-app security, dependency review, hosting, and enterprise data governance remain manual-review items.
- Replit Agent is another shortlist option for prompt-to-app building when the buyer values Replit's hosted workspace, databases, publishing, Agent modes, and spend/security controls.
- Bolt remains an app-builder path for web prototypes; Paper and Stitch should be treated as design/prototyping complements rather than replacements for generated app review.
