`global-copilot-mode` Opens too many files

[djhunter67]

Too many files open

• I have recompiled emacs with the relevant compile flags and increased my Arch Linux max number of open files
• Spent many hours investigating after spending months activating copilot using copilot-diagnose instead of global-copilot-mode

Problem

• Read the elisp source code and learned that global-copilot-mode enables copilot in all open buffers.

Suspicion

• global-copilot-mode actually enables copilot for every file ever previously opened.

Rust

• Over the past 12 months or so I have started every project in Rust and everytime global-copilot-mode is executed emacs runs into the Too many open files error.
• Using global-copilot-mode appears to enable copilot in every single file I have ever used with my LSP simultaneously. Hence, not encountering this issue when I first started working and using copilot at work. I do not know how to rationalize copilot being immediately available in files that I open for the first time in a instance of work but have opened previously in the life of the project. Even other projects I open, while developing on a particular project, have copilot immediately available for them with any indication copilot was enabled for them.

Proposed solution

• projectile-copilot-mode
• Only enable copilot in project-specific buffers.

P.S.

If I have completely missed the mark please take away the following:

• On two different Arch development machines (work and home) emacs soft locks with 'Too many open files' error after enabling global-copilot-mode.
