Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and CLI/GitHub Action wrapping are vibe-codeable, but the core verifier needs real hardware-in-the-loop test rigs and reliable build/sanitizer orchestration for C/C++ firmware, which is hard to get right.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a CLI and MCP server that drives builds (CMake/Make), runs tests on attached boards via ST-Link or similar probes, and reverts and reapplies patches under sanitizers. The hard parts are deterministic flakiness detection across hardware runs and anti-masking analysis of tests. That takes embedded debugging experience and a lab of boards.
