Why do you need to store a copy of my code to support what seems to be a time traveling debugger?

valid concerns of course

- we are planning a hosted AI debugging feature that can aggregate multiple traces & code snippets from different related codebases and feed it all into one llm prompt, that benefits a lot from having it all centralized on our servers

- for now the rewriting algorithms are quite unstable, it helps me debug it to have failing code files in sight

- we only store your code for 48hours as I assume it's completely unnecessary to store for longer

- a self hosted ver will be released for users that cannot accept this for valid reasons
