Hi Jason, is this still planned?

@SilentRhetoric I'm starting to work on it this week. Initial plan is to come up with a very simple function in JS for AVM <9 app calls. Then iterate on top of that to support AVM9 resource sharing. Then once a good algorithim is reached it can be put into algod. There are some edge cases like inner call to AVM<9 from AVM9+ and I'm not sure how nuanced the simulate response is, so don't know the exact scope of work here but I think it's manageable and hopefully ready by EOY.

Turns out that the simulate response was much more detailed than I anticipated, which made development much easier.

Working TypeScript implementation with tests for all functionality for both AVM8 and AVM9 is here: https://github.com/joe-p/resource-packer/tree/main

Next step is to do some more testing of the edge cases and then implementation into go-algorand can be started. I think returning {boxes, apps, accounts, assets} for each transaction as part of the response makes the most sense (opposed to returning the entire txn object) but open to other ideas.
