Revive an abandoned dependency and prove nothing broke with side-by-side runs
Teams either keep running code with unfixed bugs or rewrite it without knowing whether behavior changed. Developers pay for this in lost time and in the risk of silent breakage.
Lazarus Fork lets you maintain a revived copy of an abandoned dependency and run it side by side with the original to confirm the behavior still matches.
- 1Point Lazarus Fork at the abandoned dependency you rely on.
- 2Make your fixes or updates in a revived copy.
- 3Run both versions side by side and compare the results.

From Notion notesClaude Code and Codex do this on request, working from Notion notes.
[ What would make it pass ]3 steps
- 01
Find a gap git and npm miss, like automated behavior diffs across runtimes.
- 02
Validate with ten developers who actually hit this pain this month.
- 03
Show a working side-by-side diff that clearly beats existing tooling.
