Conflicts & caveats
- Privacy conflict: Self-hosted Llama 3 (Ollama/Groq) sends code to cloud Windsurf codebase indexing. Use local context (Continue indexing, ChromaDB, LanceDB, pgvector, Vespa self-hosted) for true privacy.
- Windsurf codebase indexing only works with Windsurf Cascade integration (yours is GitHub Copilot).
