Could you build this?

Partial Developing a desktop utility that interacts with OS kernel schedulers, thread affinities, and hardware resource allocation requires low-level systems programming that AI generators frequently struggle to implement safely.

What it would actually take: Built using C++ or Rust on Windows/macOS utilizing native platform APIs (such as Windows SetProcessAffinityMask, Job Objects, and Multimedia Class Scheduler Service, or Darwin QoS/mach thread APIs). The hard component is handling driver/hardware-level CPU architecture nuances (P-cores vs. E-cores, NUMA nodes) without causing system instability or deadlocks.
