Could you build this?

Partial The Decky plugin UI and per-game config are vibe-codeable, but the actual upscaling relies on AMD's proprietary FSR 4 technology and GPU-level work through OptiScaler, which vibe coding can't reproduce.

What it would actually take: The plugin side is a Decky Loader (TypeScript/Python) app that writes OptiScaler configs per game under Proton. The hard part is the upscaler itself: integrating FSR 4 requires AMD's shader/ML assets and graphics-API hooking, plus Vulkan/DX12 performance tuning. That needs graphics programming expertise and access to AMD-licensed components, along with real Steam Machine hardware for benchmarking.
