Could you build this?

Partial Lucerna is a custom desktop shell written in QML for the Hyprland Wayland compositor via Quickshell. While QML and shell UI are manageable with AI, integrating deeply with Wayland IPC, layer-shell protocols, and Hyprland sockets requires niche Linux desktop protocol expertise.

What it would actually take: A Wayland desktop shell needs to communicate over Wayland protocol extensions (wlr-layer-shell, foreign-toplevel-management) and parse Hyprland's specific UNIX socket IPC in real time. The stack requires C++/Qt or Quickshell (QML) interacting with Linux system daemons (PipeWire, NetworkManager, UPower, BlueZ). The difficult parts are handling dynamic multi-monitor hotplugging, seat management, input grabbing, and race conditions in asynchronous compositor events, requiring a systems developer with Wayland desktop environment experience.
