Lovable's guide describes a three-phase handoff process where non-technical teams build and validate prototypes in Lovable, export them to GitHub, and then engineers take over in their preferred tools. The process is designed so that prototypes do not ship directly to production, allowing engineering to retain control over what goes live. Lovable provides governance features including a security center, admin controls, and role-based access to manage non-technical builds.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://lovable.dev/blog/prototype-to-production-handoff-how-non-technical-teams-use-lovable-without-bypassing-engineering:

> The teams getting the most value from Lovable aren't using it to bypass engineering. They're using it to arrive at engineering with better inputs, faster alignment, and fewer wasted cycles.
