Could you elaborate why? You open the project, it is scanned and indexed. Seems logical and obvious if the IDE can sugges a relevant completion based on the whole project structure. Thanks!

Of course knowing is different than indexing and they are routing your code to an LLM, so data exfiltration is also involved. I can summarize my project in two minutes to a collaborator, and they will have more knowledge of it than any indexing mechanism. The underlying connotation when you use the word "knows" is that you've shared it with actual people, not a vector database. And that is creepy. Not sure why I would have to explain any of this.
