After upgrading to 0.46.0, cursor has a hard time to recognizing my venv, which leads to several issues:

(1) I need to exit my venv and reactivate it in the terminal, otherwise I get:

(my_venv) me@my_box:somewhere$ python
Python path configuration:
  PYTHONHOME = '/tmp/.mount_cursorEnASkE/usr/'
  PYTHONPATH = '/tmp/.mount_cursorEnASkE/usr/share/pyshared/:'
  program name = 'python'
  isolated = 0
  environment = 1
  user site = 1
  safe_path = 0
  import site = 1
  is in build tree = 0
  stdlib dir = '/tmp/.mount_cursorEnASkE/usr/lib/python3.12'
  sys._base_executable = '/home/yeeef/Desktop/workspace/polymarket/backtest/.venv/bin/python'

  sys.base_exec_prefix = '/tmp/.mount_cursorEnASkE/usr/'
  sys.platlibdir = 'lib'
  sys.executable = '/home/yeeef/Desktop/workspace/polymarket/backtest/.venv/bin/python'

  ]

(2) python related extensions are nearly all broken, due to similar reason

Downgrade to 0.45.0 could solve the problem.
