Could you build this?

Partial Writing a custom ZIP engine with strict 16KB boundary alignment and implementing Android APK Signature Scheme v2/v3 requires deep knowledge of binary ZIP formats, ASN.1/DER encoding, and cryptographic signing specifications.

What it would actually take: A proper implementation requires low-level binary manipulation in Kotlin/Java to rebuild ZIP central directory headers without recompressing already-aligned payload streams, targeting 16KB (0x4000) page boundaries. It also requires parsing and writing the APK Signing Block (positioned directly before the ZIP Central Directory) and calculating deterministic Merkle tree hashes of ZIP chunks according to Android's exact v2/v3/v4 cryptographic specification.
