Could you build this?
Partial While the visual preview and chat wrapper are straightforward to build, reliably mapping rendered DOM nodes back to precise source-code AST locations across arbitrary build systems requires complex compiler plugins.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an AST instrumentation layer (such as a Babel or SWC plugin) that injects file and line metadata into JSX/HTML nodes during compilation, combined with an embedded browser bridge. It also requires an AST-aware code rewrite engine capable of applying localized patches without breaking formatting or state management.
