What we couldn't confirm3
- Whether Canvas includes autocomplete or an editor, as Copilot and Cursor do, is not stated in the README.
- The README does not say which LLM providers are supported beyond 'any LLM'.
- The README does not state the Canvas license file contents; only the host-reported MIT license was given.
