Sure, but that presumes that you have that test suite written without having a single line of application code written (which, to me, is counterintuitive, unrealistic, and completely insane)
SQLite apparently has 2 million tests! If you started only with that and set your agentic swarm against it, and the stars aligned and you ended up with a pristine, clean-room replica that passes everything, other than proof that it could be done, what did you achieve? You stood on the shoulders of giants to build a Bizarro World giant that gets you exactly back to where you began?
I'd be more interested in forking SQLite as-is, setting a swarm of agents against it with the looping task to create novel things on top of what already exists, and see what comes out.

You think an implementation of SQLite in another language, with more memory safety, has no value?
I agree that this current implementation is not very useful. I would not trust it where I trust SQLite.
Regardless, the potential for having agents build clean room implementations of existing systems from existing tests has value.
