Could you build this?

Partial While an Electron/Tauri frontend orchestrating LLM calls is accessible, managing concurrent Git worktrees, isolated subprocess sandboxing, and real-time dependency graph indexing across multiple active AI agents requires non-trivial local systems engineering.

What it would actually take: The product requires a desktop container/wrapper (e.g., Rust via Tauri or Go backend) that manages multiple Git worktrees concurrently, handles branch conflict resolution, and controls CLI execution of headless coding agents (Claude Code, Aider, etc.). It also requires an AST-based code parsing engine (using Tree-sitter) to generate live dependency graphs and impact analyses without incurring continuous model call costs. The core challenge lies in concurrent process supervision, IPC, and reliable Git worktree isolation on developer machines.
