v1.1.0 adds ~20–30% faster responses and better tool calling. Curious how people might wire this into their workflows?

Anticipating a common question: this doesn’t bypass Copilot’s licensing or give you “free” access. You still need an active Copilot subscription, and the bridge just exposes it as a local API. Think of it as a shim: Copilot stays the backend, this just makes it usable from scripts, CLIs, or tools that expect an OpenAI-style interface.

I’ve tried to keep the project in the spirit of extending Copilot’s usefulness without abusing the service. Feedback on where the line should be drawn is welcome.
