Accept Editing File Bug (since 2.0v)

Hey, thanks for the report.

Try:

  • Cursor Settings > Agent > Auto-Run Mode
  • Switch to “Run Everything” (automatically applies all file changes)
  • Or check protection settings: Cursor Settings > Agents > Auto-Run > External-File Protection / Dotfile Protection - try turning them off

This looks like a worktrees bug where the Agent doesn’t recognize project files as part of the workspace and keeps asking for permission: Cursor 2.0 Agent in Git Worktree asks to write to every file inside the worktree

Could you share:

  • What’s your current Auto-Run Mode?
  • Are file protections enabled (External-File Protection, etc.)?
  • Does this happen with all files or only specific ones?
  • Are you using symlinks, worktrees, or mounted drives?

Let me know if that helps.
