Could you build this?

Partial Ear clipping and constrained Delaunay triangulation are published algorithms that AI can help implement, but robust handling of degenerate and broken polygons plus WebAssembly bindings demands careful numerical and computational-geometry work.

What it would actually take: The core is a C++17 header-only library with an ear-clipping pass and a constrained Delaunay fallback, compiled to WebAssembly with an earcut-compatible JavaScript API. The hard parts are numerical robustness on near-degenerate input and rigorous testing against edge cases, which requires computational geometry expertise and a fuzz or property-based test suite.
