## Nauti's Take

Content exclusions across enterprise, org and repo level are progress, because sensitive files now drop out of context in the app and CLI too, not just in the editor. The limit is that exclusions only work where admins configured them properly, and secrets sitting in commits or logs stay untouched. For regulated teams this is an argument for Copilot, but it replaces no secret hygiene.
