Could you build this?
Partial Building a desktop Electron/Tauri shell is simple, but a safe local execution environment that manages permissions, runs concurrent agent loops, and handles local model weights requires deep systems programming.
What it would actually take: Requires an architecture built on Tauri (Rust) or Electron interfacing with llama.cpp/Ollama via native bindings or local HTTP endpoints. The difficult engineering lies in sandboxing file-system modifications, managing local CPU/GPU resource contention across parallel agent threads, and reliable OAuth/token handling across developer APIs.
