This would technically be vegan because...

It is not. Vulnerable individuals like livestock do not have the capacity to consent. Veganism does not recognize any such loophole. Veganism forbids the exploitation of animals. It doesn't matter if you convince yourself "the animal had a good life" or "the animal gets something in exchange" or "the animal likes it for some reason"; it's still exploitation.

    Yes, we know that. The hypothetical here is that the animal is fully aware and fully consents to being killed and eaten. Obviously this is not a thing in the real world; it’s just a thought experiment.
