Conflicts & caveats
- @codebase indexing is a Cursor-only feature, but your IDE is VS Code.
- Privacy conflict: Self-hosted Llama 3 (Ollama/Groq) sends code to cloud @codebase (Cursor). Use local context (Continue indexing, ChromaDB, LanceDB, pgvector, Vespa self-hosted) for true privacy.
- @codebase (Cursor) only works with Cursor built-in integration (yours is GitHub Copilot).
