Could you build this?
No Lifting compiled machine binaries into formal verification systems like Lean to mathematically prove code correctness requires world-class compiler engineering, formal methods, and theorem proving expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack requires a binary lifter and intermediate representation (IR) decoder (such as LLVM/Ghidra integration), coupled with automated translation into interactive theorem provers (Lean 4, Coq, or Isabelle). Building automated provers requires fine-tuned frontier LLMs trained specifically on formal math and interactive verification environments (Monte Carlo tree search + proof step validation). This requires elite academic researchers in formal methods, abstract interpretation, SAT/SMT solvers, and compiler theory.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
