Could you build this?
Partial A Monaco-based web editor is simple, but an infinite spatial canvas orchestrating multiple native terminal processes and multi-agent context piping requires complex local systems integration.
What it would actually take: Typically built on Electron or Tauri using an infinite canvas graph engine (e.g., React Flow or custom WebGL/Canvas2D) coupled with node-pty for native terminal session management. The challenge lies in orchestrating shared filesystem states, virtual terminal multiplexing, and robust bi-directional IPC piping between arbitrary CLI agents without performance degradation or state corruption across isolated workspaces.
