No The product centers on reverse-engineering Android TV hardware, direct-boot behavior, and Realtek hardware passthrough. That requires low-level firmware and hardware expertise that vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: Building this requires Android internals work (init and boot sequence, SELinux policy, vendor HAL), access to specific TV hardware for testing, and Realtek driver/SoC knowledge for passthrough. Reliable fail-safe boot behavior needs very careful debugging on real devices, so a systems or embedded engineer is required.
