Could you build this?

Partial The GitHub App webhook receiver and PR reporting UI are straightforward, but running arbitrary untrusted PR code in disposable, secure VM/container environments and executing automated browser testing at scale is an infrastructure challenge.

What it would actually take: The system requires an orchestration backend (e.g., using Firecracker microVMs or Docker on auto-scaling worker nodes) to safely boot user repositories, install dependencies, and start web servers. A headless Playwright/Puppeteer runner navigates the site, records video via virtual framebuffers (Xvfb/ffmpeg), and streams artifacts back to an S3 bucket before posting GitHub API check run updates.
