Just containerize the dev environment and ship that to the customer.

Just make sure to add comments like
//Magic, do not touch
To make sure no-one accidentally breaks the spell.
// Do not delete! Yes, it's not used anywhere in the code, but if it is removed
// the application crashes and the error code is useless for debugging.
let f = 'a';
if ( "a" == "a" ) { // i swear i saw this somewhere }
I once did const theNumber = 4 in a function (and then took a second, actually random, number and compared it to theNumber).
In the comment to the function I actually referenced https://xkcd.com/221/.
If you even know which line of random bullshit you changed that made it work, that is
//HERE BE DRAGONS
I solved one of these once upon a time.
There was a function that wasn't called from anywhere in the project which if deleted caused the whole system to fail in test and (presumably) production at runtime. It turned out to be scripts for a cron job that were only on the servers. I moved them in to the project and thus version control. Mystery solved.
Well you can't call the code generated by chat gpt as YOURS.
The way I see, if chatgpt can steal our art, then we can steal its science.
I know why it works. Because it was copied from stack overflow..
The answer is usually that I've pushed to the dev environment but I'm looking at staging.
