Describe the Bug
The AI agent gets stuck in an infinite loop when executing terminal commands, repeatedly running the same command without recognizing that it has already been executed. This appears to be a context management issue where the AI loses track of its previous actions.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Flutter project in Cursor
- Ask the AI to run a test command (e.g., “Run the test file”)
- AI executes:
dart run test/chatbot_api_test.dart - After command completes, AI immediately runs the same command again
- This continues indefinitely until user clicks “Skip” button
Expected Behavior
- AI should execute the command once
- AI should recognize the command has completed
- AI should proceed to next logical step or provide results
