Could you build this?

No A post-build .NET IL optimizer and intermediate representation requires deep compiler and CLR expertise that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: Building this means writing IL parsers and rewriters on top of the ECMA-335 metadata and CIL spec, designing an IR with correct control-flow and exception-handling semantics, and proving optimizations preserve program behavior. It requires experienced compiler engineers, extensive test corpora, and careful verification against the .NET runtime.
