What I learned by putting GitHub Copilot behind a MitM proxy

The author intercepted GitHub Copilot's network traffic using a man-in-the-middle proxy to understand how the AI coding assistant works internally, examining its communications and data handling. The investigation revealed insights into Copilot's architecture and context usage, with the author noting that many AI-powered apps like Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT are built on Electron, making reverse engineering techniques applicable across these platforms. This exploration was motivated by the author's observation of rapidly depleting Copilot credits and the lack of available source code for most commercial AI tools.
