Could you build this?
No Developing a custom GPU shader debugger, profiler, and LSP server for Apple Metal requires deep systems programming and low-level graphics driver knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires deep C++/Rust and Metal Shading Language (MSL) expertise, interacting with private Apple Metal toolchain APIs, LLVM/Clang compiler internals, and LSP protocol implementations. The architecture entails a custom language server parser, dynamic instrumentation/interception of Metal command buffers, and low-level GPU performance counter harvesting. Building what Xcode Instruments misses demands reverse-engineering proprietary Apple GPU architectures and Metal runtime behaviors.
