Could you build this?
No This requires low-level macOS system programming using private or delicate CoreGraphics and DisplayServices APIs to detect hardware EDIDs and reposition displays programmatically.
What it would actually take: A developer must write a native macOS Swift/C app tapping into Quartz Display Services (`CGDisplay*` and private `CGS*` window server APIs). It must reliably fingerprint monitors via EDID/UUID across dock disconnects, recalculate virtual desktop coordinates, and handle native macOS permission and display arrangement events. This requires deep familiarity with macOS internals and native window server edge cases rather than web-level vibe coding.
