Could you build this?

No Developing an AI coding agent specifically certified for regulated engineering requires deep expertise in safety-critical verification standards (such as ISO 26262, DO-178C, or IEC 62304) and deterministic toolchain integration.

What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a Rust-based agent architecture integrated with formal verification tools, AST analyzers, and strict compliance traceability engines. The hard part is ensuring provable correctness, deterministic artifact generation, and qualification under industry-specific regulatory standards. This demands experienced safety-critical software engineers and regulatory compliance specialists.
