Could you build this?
Partial A visual editor that maps directly back to arbitrary codebase ASTs and writes clean minimal diffs requires sophisticated compiler AST manipulation and runtime communication.
What it would actually take: A real version requires an electron/native shell communicating with a Vite/Webpack plugin that injects source-location metadata (Babel/SWC transform) into JSX/HTML. When manipulated, it must parse the original source with Babel/AST tooling and produce precise, non-destructive code diffs, which is prone to edge cases with dynamic components and complex build systems.
