Could you build this?

Partial The graph UI and dbt manifest parsing are vibe-codeable. Column-level lineage for arbitrary SQL dialects and SAS code is the hard part, because it requires real parsers and semantic analysis.

What it would actually take: Use an existing SQL parser such as sqlglot for dialect handling and dbt's manifest and compiled SQL for dbt projects. Column-level lineage requires a scope and type resolver, and SAS needs a custom parser since few reliable open-source tools exist. This is compiler-style work that typically needs an engineer with parser and data-lineage experience.
