Background Agent Reports Success, But No Changes in PR

Describe the Bug

Ran implementation of a plan in background agent using supernova-1-million. After about 1hr, agent reports success and completion. I see 1840 lines added, 112 removed. Multiple files edited/created.

I opened the branch in cursor, fetched, updated, etc… ran npm run build, project builds. Ran dev server. Tested - no changes. Then, I checked the file system to see if the new files were there and they are missing. In fact, when I click “Create PR” from the agent web UI, it takes me to github which reports that main and the new branch are identical.

I am happy this wasn’t using a paid model or I would be out quite a bit of money in terms of my subscription (Pro).

Any information you can provide will be super helpful - maybe it’s all stuck in local cloud environment?

Steps to Reproduce

Seems like a proper bug. Not sure if it can be replicated without my specific codebase. All I did was create a plan using plan mode in cursor desktop (windows) app, then build that using a background agent. Then I waited.

Expected Behavior

Create PR should have created a PR in github and the files that were modified should actually be pushed somewhere out of the background agent environment.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue


Below, there shoudl be clientsV2.tsx and ClientDetailV2.tsx - this is proof nothing actually was pushed in the branch.

Hey, thanks for the report. I’ll pass it to the team.
