Could you build this?

Partial While the MCP endpoint and React canvas layout are vibe-codeable, building a bidirectional visual canvas that reliably parses, inspects, and modifies AST code in real time without corrupting user source code is technically challenging.

What it would actually take: The system requires an AST parser and transformer (e.g., Babel, TypeScript Compiler API, or SWC) that can map DOM elements in an isolated iframe back to their exact source file line/column positions. It needs non-destructive code formatting (such as Prettier or Recast) to inject style and prop changes directly into Git-tracked source files. An engineer experienced with compiler toolchains, AST manipulation, and sandboxed React iframe rendering is essential.
