Agreed completely. In fact, one can start to write code in a copilot-friendly manner to take advantage of this. A nit, though: codex is the model itself, and doesn’t do anything to slurp up nearby files. That work is entirely done client-side, and is part of the “UI” of the tool. Code is heuristically scanned for relevant snippets using an 11-dimensional logistic regression model which is bundled into the copilot source code and executes locally, and those snippets are included automatically as preamble comments in the prompt. Thakkar Parth’s work showed this and you can further explore it by running a MITM proxy to capture the network activity and look at the prompts directly.
