Commit message generation is not working

Hi @Jev,

I noticed you also reported plan mode getting stuck and file references causing agent hangs. All three share a pattern of AI features getting stuck in a loading state, which suggests the underlying cause may be the same.

A few things to try:

  1. Check the Developer Console for errors: Open Help > Toggle Developer Tools, click the Console tab, then try generating a commit message. If any red errors appear, those would help narrow the issue.

  2. Start Cursor with a clean profile to rule out cached/corrupted state:

cursor --user-data-dir=/tmp/cursor-test

Open the same project and try the sparkle button. If it works, the issue is in your profile state.

  1. Try reloading the window (Cmd+Shift+P > Developer: Reload Window) when the spinner gets stuck, and check if that unblocks it temporarily.

Could you share what you see in the Developer Console when it gets stuck? That would help us determine whether the request is hanging or returning an empty result.
