Could you build this?
Partial Building the candidate-facing web UI and basic recording dashboard is straightforward, but running isolated, low-latency, securely sandboxed interactive dev environments with live CLI tracking requires specialized infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires web-based terminal emulators (xterm.js) backed by sandboxed microVMs (like Firecracker or Fly.io Machines) to execute real CLI coding agents securely. It needs custom PTY proxies to stream, log, and parse every shell and agent interaction in real time, alongside an LLM evaluation pipeline to score engineering reasoning vs blind agent reliance.
