Could you build this?
No Controlling the MacBook lid logo in clamshell mode depends on undocumented display-controller and power behavior in the 2026 PROLED hardware, which is beyond software-only vibe coding.
What it would actually take: This would need reverse engineering of Apple's private display and SMC/power interfaces on the new hardware, likely with kernel or IOKit-level access. It requires macOS internals expertise, hardware debugging tools, and a test machine that matches the target model.
