HTTPToolkit Server sending/receiving large amount of data from #144

When I start HTTPToolkit (MacOS), even without intercepting anything, after a while I notice large amount of traffic to/from a github server:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 26095 t_w 25u IPv4 0xcb5eeb155b5d3b75 0t0 TCP macbookpro.lan:55704->lb-140-82-116-3-sea.github.com:https (ESTABLISHED)

When I say large amount, I mean it's constantly sending traffic, often in the gigabytes.
I tried to look into what this is doing but so far I haven't traced where these connections are made from.

In the processes I see these:

26092 ?? 0:00.44 /Applications/HTTP Toolkit.app/Contents/Frameworks/HTTP Toolkit Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/HTTP Toolkit Helper --type=utility --utility-sub-type=network.mojom.NetworkService --lang=en-US --service-sandbox-type=network --user-data-dir=/Users/t_w/Library/Application Support/httptoolkit --secure-schemes=sentry-ipc --bypasscsp-schemes=sentry-ipc --cors-schemes=sentry-ipc --fetch-schemes=sentry-ipc --shared-files --field-trial-handle=1718379636,r,87867599167215501,744985615024557052,262144 --enable-features=ScreenCaptureKitPickerScreen,ScreenCaptureKitStreamPickerSonoma --disable-features=SpareRendererForSitePerProcess --variations-seed-version --seatbelt-client=25

What is the node server doing? why does it connect to this remote server?
