Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Lately the agent hasn’t been able to determine what mode it’s on and tries to change code on ask or plan mode. I defaulted to always adding “you’re on x mode” at the end of my prompts. Not the end of the world but annoying. It’s a new development that started a couple weeks ago
Steps to Reproduce
Put the agent on ask or plan mode. Ask for it to do something related to changing code. It will attempt to create/change code despite not being allowed to.
Expected Behavior
It should automatically detect what mode it’s on and act accordingly.
