Meanwhile: a disclosed sponsor line that pays you while Copilot CLI works

[heenatrivedi321-max]

I'm 14, and I built Meanwhile: a status line that wires into Copilot CLI (and Claude Code) and pays you while your agent is working, not just talks about it.

npx trymeanwhile installs a statusLine command. Most of the time it shows a normal tip. Sometimes it's a disclosed (sponsored) line instead -- and when that happens, you get half of whatever the sponsor actually paid, tracked live and paid out via PayPal once you cross $25. It never reads your code or prompts, only that a line was shown and for how long.

Why I'm posting it here specifically: Copilot CLI support isn't an afterthought bolted on for reach -- it's wired the same way as Claude Code, same install script, same shared balance if you use both. Billing only fires if the client shows real session evidence (cost/tokens actually increasing), so a script pinging the endpoint on a timer can't fake payouts.

Genuinely curious whether anyone here has ideas for what Copilot-specific telemetry would make the "real usage" check even more solid -- right now it leans on cost/token deltas the same way the Claude Code side does.
