Could you build this?
No Building an autoscaling CI runner daemon orchestrating macOS Tart VMs and Linux microVMs/Docker on Apple Silicon requires deep systems engineering, virtualization internals, and hypervisor management.
What it would actually take: To build Kinhin, one needs a systems language daemon (Go or Swift/Rust) interfacing with macOS's Virtualization.framework, Tart CLI/libvirt, and Docker sockets. The hard part is managing dynamic VM lifecycle provisioning, state isolation, ephemeral networking bridges, and reliable auto-scaling protocols compatible with GitHub Actions or GitLab runner webhook architectures.
