Recover the Exact Previous Version of My Livdar Move UI from Cursor Local History

I need an experienced developer to recover an exact previous version of a Next.js/React application that I developed locally using Cursor AI.

This is NOT a redesign or reconstruction job. The original code existed on my Mac, and I need you to locate and recover it.

Access

I will provide temporary remote access to my Mac through AnyDesk.

You will be able to work directly with Cursor, Terminal, relevant Livdar project folders, Cursor local history, Cursor agent transcripts, Cursor subagent transcripts, terminal history, local backups, checkpoints, and other historical files that may contain the previous code.

I will be present during the remote session. I will not provide my Cursor password or other personal account passwords.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT ASSUME LIVDAR-V2 IS THE CORRECT SOURCE

We previously investigated a project called Livdar-V2, but I do NOT know whether Livdar-V2 is actually where the final version was created.

Livdar-V2 is only one possible location.

The version I need may exist in Livdar-V2, another Livdar project or folder, an older project, a renamed project, another Cursor workspace, Cursor local history, agent transcripts, subagent transcripts, deleted or replaced files, checkpoints, backups, terminal history, or other local Cursor data.

The screenshots I provide are the source of truth, NOT the project or folder name.

Do NOT consider the job completed simply because you successfully recover or run Livdar-V2.

If Livdar-V2 does not match my screenshots, you must continue searching.

What I need recovered

I need the complete historical version of the Move section shown in my screenshots, approximately developed around May 2026.

It was already highly polished and contained multiple completed pages, features, and interactions.

The version included features such as Move main screen, Compare Cities, Budget and affordability calculator, salary input and salary range, adjustable expense sliders, Rent, Food, Transport, Taxes, Lifestyle and Nightlife, Savings Target, Monthly Spend, Affordability Score, Savings Runway, dynamic affordability status, dynamic visual indicators depending on affordability, Currency selector, automatic currency conversion, currency preferences, Filters, Saved Comparisons, Preferences and Priorities, Add City, and other completed Move pages and navigation.

This list is only provided to help identify the correct historical version.

I need the ENTIRE Move implementation from that historical state, not only the Budget Calculator or individual components.

Cursor history

We have already discovered that Cursor contains JSONL transcripts with historical operations such as Write, StrReplace, Delete, Read, and other agent operations.

We also found multiple agent and subagent sessions.

However, several versions we restored were older or visually different versions, even though they contained similar Move functionality.

Therefore, finding files containing words such as Move, Budget, Salary, Currency, or similar terms does NOT prove that you found the correct version.

Your task

Search the entire Mac and Cursor environment for the historical version.

Do not limit the investigation to Livdar-V2.

Identify all relevant Cursor workspaces and projects related to Livdar.

Search Cursor agent transcripts and subagent transcripts.

Search local Cursor history, checkpoints, backups, terminal history, and other historical data.

Check relevant deleted or replaced historical files where recoverable.

Use the screenshots I provide to identify the correct historical state.

Determine the exact session, checkpoint, workspace, or project where that UI existed.

If necessary, reconstruct the historical state by replaying the original Write, StrReplace, Delete, and related operations in their correct chronological order.

Do NOT randomly combine components from different historical versions.

Restore the recovered application into a NEW folder.

Do NOT modify or overwrite my existing projects.

Install the necessary dependencies and run the recovered application locally.

Open and test all relevant Move screens and compare the running application visually against my screenshots.

Deliver the complete working source code of the recovered historical version.

DO NOT REBUILD THE DESIGN

Do not recreate the UI manually from my screenshots.

Do not redesign it.

Do not approximate it.

Do not create a new version that simply looks similar.

I specifically want the original historical source code that already existed.

If recovery proves impossible, tell me before attempting any reconstruction.

SUCCESS CRITERION

The task is NOT complete when you find or restore a project.

The task is NOT complete when Livdar-V2 runs successfully.

The task is NOT complete because the recovered project contains similar features.

The task is complete ONLY when the recovered application runs locally, we open the relevant Move screens, the UI matches the historical version shown in my screenshots, and I visually confirm that this is the version I was looking for.

If the recovered version does not match the screenshots, continue searching other projects, Cursor workspaces, transcripts, checkpoints, backups, and historical files.

I am looking for someone experienced with Cursor or VS Code local history, filesystem and code recovery, JSONL agent transcripts, Git and history recovery, Next.js, React, and forensic source-code recovery.
