This doesn't actually cover the most important part, which is where the response to a chat shows up. Has anyone figured this out? I only looked briefly, but AFAICT, it doesn't show up in the response data in Chrome or Firefox DevTools. I figured it was maybe using WebSockets or Server Sent Events, which apparently don't show up in DevTools in some cases (?). I think this is a Chrome bug [0] [1] and also a Firefox bug [2].

EDIT: It's using EventSource. If you open the debugger and Cmd+Shift+F for `onmessage`, you'll find where it receives the message, and you can add a breakpoint, which you can then right click and change to a logpoint, to log the contents of the message. There is probably a one-liner you could paste into devtools to do some prototype hacking of window.EventSource, but I don't have time to figure that out atm, and can't find anything in a few quick searches of GitHub code.

EDIT EDIT: Just tried Safari, it does indeed show up as a spinner, but I still can't see the actual messages in DevTools.
