Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)
Describe the Bug
When using Cursor Agent from the browser, it decides to add its own custom co-author without any user input.
Evidently, there’s a setting for this in the desktop app… I downloaded the app and turned that off (commit attribution), and the behavior persists. It appears the settings don’t actually change anything.
Steps to Reproduce

Evidently, there’s a setting for this in the desktop app? I downloaded the app and turn that off, and the behavior process is in the browser.
Expected Behavior
Agents shouldn’t make autonomous decisions about commit patterns without checking with the user.
