+- peekme works with GitHub Copilot CLI too. Type `copilot` as always, select text, press Alt+P.
+  Run `peekme install` once more so that `copilot` gets peekme.
+- Copilot explanations come from Copilot CLI's own headless server with your Copilot login.
+  Each one is a short session without tools, and peekme deletes it afterwards, so it does not
+  show in your session list. The context comes from the running session's log.
+- peekme reads Copilot's selection from the OSC 52 copy it sends when you release the mouse,
+  also over SSH and in tmux. Copilot's input line stays live under the box.
