REA lets an AI agent reverse-engineer your shipped JavaScript or Electron app with no source code. REAShield hardens your build so that automated attack comes back empty: secret logic moves off-device or ships sealed, and what a static agent reads is stripped. Measured against the real REA on a bundled sample app: 6 protected tokens recovered before, 0 after. Not unbreakable: it defeats the automated attack and raises a human analyst's cost. Open source (MIT).

Could you build this?
Partial Build-time obfuscation, string stripping, and moving logic server-side are buildable, but proving that they defeat AI reverse-engineering agents requires security research that vibe coding can't supply.
What it would actually take: The core is a build-pipeline plugin for JavaScript and Electron that applies obfuscation, dead-code and string transformations, and sealing or encryption of secret logic, plus a runtime loader and possibly server-side execution. The hard part is designing protections that hold up against modern LLM-driven analysis and validating them with adversarial testing. That requires security and reverse-engineering expertise and a rigorous evaluation harness.
