Could you build this?

Partial While basic content-addressed storage (hashing and saving chunks) can be scaffolded, a reliable production object store requires nuanced concurrency, filesystem safety, and performance tuning.

What it would actually take: Built with Rust using tokio and a storage engine (like rocksdb or raw block storage) to implement content hashing (SHA256/BLAKE3), deduplication, garbage collection, and fault-tolerant disk synchronization (fsync semantics). Requires deep knowledge of storage systems and systems programming in Rust.
