Agent not waiting for setup-worktree script

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Agent using worktrees does not wait for the setup script to complete.
This leads to potential script executions and tool calls in an incomplete dev environment.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a worktree config file at ./.cursor/worktrees.json with the following contents:

{
  "setup-worktree": [
    "echo 'starting'",
    "sleep 10",
    "echo 'done!'"
  ]
}

In the Output bottom panel select Worktrees Setup and watch the logs when starting a new agent with any request in a git worktree. The script starts, but so does the agent.

Expected Behavior

When starting an agent in git worktree, wait for the setup script to complete.

Operating System
