Could you build this?
No This is a physical consumer electronic device requiring custom PCB design, microcontrollers, enclosure manufacturing, and Apple-compatible USB-C firmware.
What it would actually take: A real build requires electrical engineering for a custom PCB (e.g., ESP32 or RP2040), custom firmware with USB-CDC/HID protocol handling, a small display/speaker component, CAD design and tooling for injection molding or 3D-printed enclosures, plus a native macOS companion daemon (Swift) to tail CLI agent processes and send serial signals to the device.
