Cursor Agent never generating when message contains file context

Describe the Bug

Agent seems to respond when I simply say “hi”. But as soon as I ask it to do some work in the context of a file it generates forever.

The agent feature has returned very few responses at all today. Same with composer - I uninstalled/reinstalled at the start of the day to try to get things to start working but to no avail.

I don’t see anything come up in the Dev Tools unfortunately. I’ve waited over 2 minutes at time of writing for a response for Cursor so I’m pretty sure nothing is coming back - anything you can see on your end about why Agent seems to be very hit and miss today?

Steps to Reproduce

Attach a jest test as file context to an agentic request.

Expected Behavior

The request should complete in a timely manner (i.e. within 60 seconds).

Additional Information

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Pretty sure this is a dupe of Cursor Composer completely unresponsive - #40 by IWantBasics, but that ticket is “solved” despite the workaround suggested not working for some (including me).
