Agent file creation is COMPLETELY BROKEN

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

This began about a week ago, maybe less, but my agents cannot successfully create files anymore. In a similar vein, the terminal commands they are running to get around this dont work either. This is a really bad issue thats been making cursor really difficult to use and justify still paying for.

my env is an ASUS ProArt with win 11. I havent been using my mac much so I dont know if its having this issue there, however terminal commands have always been really bad with powershell on my windows machine. they always seem to use bash syntax rather than ps. However this is the first time that the commands have been failing outright. And theyre simple commands too like git diff.

Steps to Reproduce

Just run any agent that needs to make files

Expected Behavior

make a file

Operating System

Windows 10/11
