I don’t know if it’s related to platform availability, but currently composer in Agent mode isn’t is failing to apply changes. I’m not sure which model does the apply, but currently requests are failing to apply from both claude-3.5-sonnett and gpt-4o.

This might be due to some underlying issues with the file state or the model’s ability to parse the current content. gpt-4o: > I apologize for the difficulty with the apply model.

Hey, have you got a screenshot of this? For context, the model usually doesn’t know if the apply functionality worked or not! ---

It’s pretty frustrating and ends up using more tokens just to address the same problem. ---

We do have an issue with context missing when a conversation gets too long, so this could be a side effect of that! I’d recommend routinely starting a new composer session for now, and we will hopefully have a fix for this soon. ---

This continues to be a debilitation problem. Cursor needs to find a way to manage context for longer more complicated conversations when debugging complex code. ---
