Partial A Rust IDE plus a local-first AI runtime with human governance is a large systems project; a prototype is vibe-codeable, but a real version needs serious systems and compiler/editor engineering.
What it would actually take: A real version would likely combine a Rust core for the agent runtime and sandboxed tool execution with an editor frontend, such as a Tauri or Electron shell or a native GUI. Hard parts include language-server and editor-grade text handling, safe local model inference, and a permission and audit model for human oversight. This needs experienced systems engineers, not just prompting.
