But if it is open source you could maintain it? It could be "done" for a given state of affairs (protocol/API versions etc)?

Of course you could, but if it was indeed vibe-coded in a weekend, why wouldn't you want to start from scratch to make sure everything is up to your standards (especially security)?

I'm definitely not going to jump in on a vibe-coded project. I'd much rather start from scratch if I found the use-case to be relevant.

Not to say vibe-coded projects can't be alright. If the engineer behind it knows their stuff, it's fine to me. But we don't know that. So to get a general idea, I think it's fair to ask how this was done.

Such action has non-zero cost/effort. Do I really want to pay it? I am not sure.
