Basis and limits of the recorded score
Original 4.5/5 retained; the original scoring worksheet and hands-on evidence are unavailable. This documentation review did not re-score it.
Overview
Roo's official sunset notice names the Extension, Cloud and Router as ending on 2026-05-15. The repository also states the extension has shut down. Modes, coding tools and MCP in the code describe a historical implementation, not proof of a currently supported official installation or working hosted account.
Keep this entry for existing-installation inventories, source research and migration planning. Named alternatives or a founder's new product are not a current Roo version. Apache2 source availability does not restore the retired service or guarantee maintained dependencies. The existing historical lifecycle and recommendation exclusion remain unchanged.
