Can't live without old @file adding entire file to context

I use latest version 0.46.11 with Agent and sonnet-3.7-thinking.

Previously, I was confident adding relevant files to context by mentioning them. Now, with partial reads, I suspect that this doesn’t happen anymore: if I mention a file which I think is necessary, Cursor doesn’t add its content to context.

To bypass that, I copy the file content manually, insert it to my chrome’s search tab (to clear it from traces of being uninsertable), copy from there and paste it to chat. This way I can control that Sonnet will actually see the entire file right from the start, which makes my queries more robust.

This drives me nuts :slight_smile:

Cursor team pointed out already that 3.7 especially thinking was improved on 0.47. they had to make adjustments to make it work better. I think that was to be expected as the model is new and usage of it needs to be tested and adjusted.

I think my issue isn’t related to thinking. Rather, it’s related to agent’s context. Previously, on “normal” mode this worked well. The “agent” broke that, while also being better on average (with iterative linting fixes etc.)
