Can't view plan on markdown mode

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Whenever I generate a plan through plan mode and it creates a [plan].md I am unable to read the plan if it is in markdown mode. I can see the to-dos when I switch to preview but that’s it.

Steps to Reproduce

Enter plan mode → enter instructions → wain on cursor to generate plan.md file → verify plan doesn’t render markdown

Expected Behavior

I should be able to see the markdown text without issues

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

On this topic, I also see random raw files that seem like early iterations of the plan that are open in the editor but not saved

Hey, thanks for the report. We’ll check this.
