Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and CLI wrappers are easy to vibe code, low-level integration with macOS APFS clonefile APIs and file system compression requires system programming in Swift/Objective-C.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a Swift/Objective-C macOS native daemon communicating via XPC to a CLI or menu bar app. It must directly interface with low-level Darwin filesystem APIs like `clonefile(2)` for copy-on-write deduplication and `copyfile(3)` or HFS+ compression flags, paired with an FSEvents listener for background monitoring and robust error handling to prevent file corruption.
