Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have a requirement which requires us to use our own AI Servers so that data is not sent outside our organisation and/or project. We cannot use copilot because the clouds models cannot be disabled and local servers running Ollama with other models cannot be added.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a privacy mode which will only use servers and models configured and will not send anything to cloud Copilot servers.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating our own eclipse plugin, but we have MS enterprise licenses so this seems nonsensical.
Additional context
Some clients don't want code going outside the project and/or company.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how the Eclipse plugin configures servers and models and where requests can reach Copilot cloud services. Done means a privacy mode uses only configured custom servers, prevents cloud requests, and has coverage for that behavior.
