 Copilot Bridge lets you access your personal Copilot session locally through an OpenAI-compatible interface — **without calling any private GitHub endpoints**. It’s designed for developers experimenting with AI agents, CLI tools, and custom integrations inside their own editor environment.

+### ❓ FAQ
+
+#### Can I run this on a server?
+No. Copilot Bridge is designed for **localhost-only**, single-user, interactive use.  
+Running it on a shared host or exposing it over a network would violate its intended scope and could breach the Copilot terms.  
+The host is bound to `127.0.0.1` (non-configurable).
+
+#### Does it send any data to the author?
+No. The bridge never transmits telemetry, prompts, or responses to any external service.  
+All traffic stays on your machine and flows through VS Code’s built-in model interface.
+
+#### What happens if Copilot is unavailable?
+The `/health` endpoint will report a diagnostic reason such as `copilot_unavailable` or `missing_language_model_api`.  
+This means VS Code currently has no accessible models via `vscode.lm`. Once Copilot becomes available again, the bridge will resume automatically.
+
+#### Can I use non-Copilot models?
+Yes, if other providers register with `vscode.lm`. The bridge will detect any available chat-capable models and use the first suitable one it finds.
+
+#### How is this different from reverse-engineered Copilot proxies?
+Reverse-engineered proxies call private endpoints directly or reuse extracted tokens.  
+Copilot Bridge does neither—it communicates only through VS Code’s sanctioned **Language Model API**, keeping usage transparent and compliant.
