Could you build this?
No Building runtime UI inspection, live dynamic re-rendering, and bi-directional AST mapping to source files in Jetpack Compose requires deep compiler plugin, Android runtime, and Kotlin AST manipulation expertise.
What it would actually take: The system requires an on-device Android runtime agent/library hooked into Compose's internal Composition and Layout nodes, communicating via ADB/WebSockets to a desktop companion or IDE plugin. The desktop side requires a custom Kotlin AST parser and code manipulator (e.g., using Kotlin Analysis API or Kastree) to precisely map UI changes to exact file and line offsets and produce clean git diffs. This requires deep systems-level knowledge of Jetpack Compose runtime internals and compiler plugin architecture.
