Could you build this?
Partial The interactive UI, fuzzer dashboard, and visualization are vibe-codeable, but a robust 2D boolean kernel with degeneracy handling, snap rounding, and topological invariants needs real computational geometry expertise that AI assistance alone won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The core is a planar half-edge graph with snap-rounded vertices, tolerance handling, and winding-number classification, all needing exact or carefully controlled predicates. Building it well means studying the computational geometry literature (Martinez/Greiner-Hormann, Clipper, GEOS, CGAL) and writing extensive randomized and adversarial tests. The UI layer can be vibe-coded on top of that kernel.
