Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Seems like there was a feature to show the nicer rules icon when trying to @ it in chat but the old MD icon version is still there

Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the issue in the screenshot: AGENTS.md really shows up twice when you @ mention it (once with the rules icon, and once as a file).

Your diagnosis is correct. It looks like the new rules icon entry didn’t fully replace the old file entry. This is a known issue, and the team is working on a fix.

For now, you can use either entry. Functionally, they work the same. I’ll keep an eye on the fix.
