Self-assigned mission accomplished, Cortana keeps an ear on her teammates while she sneaks through the system. With Computo's codes in hand, she probably doesn't need quite as much stealth, but she's bold, not careless, and she continues to hug the metaphorical walls rather than risk exposing the team prematurely.

Cortana considers York's remark a good segue, but doesn't bother to mention that to anyone, since her reasoning would involve explaining that she's just let a super-AI with a checkered past out into the wild. Computo seems nice, anyway. She's not worried.

"Hold your applause 'til the end of the show, gentlemen." She doesn't bother to explain the comment itself, either, but the cause is clear enough: the teammates who have HUDs (even Widowmaker--she'd got your back, girl) now also have a complete and detailed map of the base, far superior to Cortana's earlier guesswork.

Calling her tone smug would be an understatement along the lines of describing a Brainiac as clever. If self-satisfaction were a tangible thing, they'd all be tripping over where it littered the halls around them. So yeah, no real obstacle exists to realizing she pulled something Cortana-grade brilliant--and Cortana-grade risky--while they were talking.
