Chat not loading

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor is dying! At first, the smaller bits of functionality stated crumbling like @ references. With the latest upgrade to 1.7.28 the chat now stopped working. “Loading chat” forever.

A while ago everything was good and cursor was shipping new features continuously. Now everything is crumbling with no improvement in sight. Why is this happening? Has cursor switched to 100% ai development without human in the loop to monitor what’s going on? This is not good at all.

Steps to Reproduce

Upgrade to 1.7.28. Open cursor. Chat not coming up.

Operating System

Linux
