Yes. For example you could hook the function that encrypts the outgoing payload and print it out before it is encrypted. And then for decryption you could hook the function that decrypts the payload as it comes in print out the result.

Going further, the API likely uses some secret key for encryption/decryption and you could hook that value out of the app as well.

Speaking of copilot, when is GitHub going to support billing for it at the organization level? Right now I would have to do a monthly reimbursement request which is a pain.

I've been using Celery on a small scale for years now and generally haven't had any serious issues except 1: reliably cancelling scheduled (future) tasks. Even using persistent revokes has been unreliable in my experience: https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/workers.h...

Fwiw though, the alternatives (huey, dramatiq, rq) don't even seem to offer this feature.

Just a heads up, the links for the forward/inverse model on the github page are the same as the blacklist link.

Are unique indexes planned for any of the upcoming releases?
