Could you build this?
No Building a headless JavaScript execution engine with persistent browser state that bypasses the graphical rendering pipeline requires deep browser internals (Blink/V8) modifications.
What it would actually take: Requires forking a browser engine (such as Chromium) and stripping out the Blink layout, paint, and raster pipelines while maintaining DOM tree synchronization and full V8 JavaScript binding compatibility. Engineers must deeply understand Chromium's multi-process architecture and web standards to execute client-side JS seamlessly without rendering overhead.
