Could you build this?

Partial A web dashboard paired with an agent is manageable, but reliable NAT traversal without open ports requires custom WebRTC signaling, STUN/TURN, or reverse proxy relays alongside secure PTY terminal spawning.

What it would actually take: The system requires a desktop agent daemon (Node/Go/Rust) running on Windows/macOS that interacts with pseudo-terminals (`node-pty`) and local file systems, communicating with a mobile client via WebRTC or a secure WebSocket relay server. The main technical hurdle is building resilient NAT traversal/hole punching and secure mutual authentication without requiring users to configure port forwarding or exposing insecure remote command execution vectors.
