Could you build this?
Partial Forking a codebase, configuring build pipelines, and stripping telemetry can be assisted by AI, but manually auditing upstream commits and maintaining binary compatibility requires solid software engineering discipline.
What it would actually take: The project requires maintaining a fork of an Electron/VS Code-based IDE, inspecting upstream commits for telemetry hooks, and managing custom automated CI/CD builds across platforms. Developers need familiarity with the Electron/VS Code build toolchains, patch management, and telemetry endpoint auditing.
