Could you build this?

Partial Building a local-first engineering runtime with macOS process observation, system-level automation, and verification requires deep macOS system APIs and native instrumentation.

What it would actually take: Implementation requires native macOS systems programming (Swift/Rust) integrating with macOS Accessibility APIs, Endpoint Security or dtrace/pty interception, and filesystem monitoring (FSEvents). The challenging part is building robust headless process supervisors that observe terminal states, sandbox execution, and reliably snapshot/verify local machine states across multi-agent tool loops.
