Roo Code moves to community-led development

The handoff of Roo Code to the community is a high-stakes experiment in open-source sustainability for the AI era. While founding team exits often spell doom, Roo Code's massive momentum and multi-mode architecture make it a resilient contender. The project's integrated checkpointing and robust MCP support provide the safety and extensibility professional developers require. By quickly shipping support for new models post-exit, the community has proven the project can survive as a powerful, customizable alternative to proprietary editors like Cursor.
