Cursor AI Terminal always creates a strange letter before the command

### **:bullseye: Important Discovery:**

#### **:white_check_mark: Confirmed Issues:**

- **AI Agent uses Cursor Terminal** (not regular Windows Terminal)

- **When user changes focus to Terminal** AI Agent can no longer see Cursor Terminal

- **AI Agent doesn’t know commands failed** because it can’t see the results

- **AI Agent thinks commands succeeded** and continues, saying things like “Great!”

#### **:warning: Problems that occur:**

1. **AI Agent runs commands in Cursor Terminal** (with strange character “แ” prefix)

2. **User changes focus to view Terminal**

3. **AI Agent can no longer see Cursor Terminal** (because user changed focus)

4. **AI Agent doesn’t know commands failed** and thinks they succeeded

5. **AI Agent continues with next commands** without knowing there’s a problem

### **:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Root Cause:**

#### **:white_check_mark: Main causes:**

1. **Cursor Terminal has strange character “แ” waiting at prompt**

2. **Every command AI Agent runs has strange characters prefix**

3. **When user changes focus AI Agent can’t see results**

4. **AI Agent thinks commands succeeded and continues**

#### **:shield: Solutions:**

1. **Delete strange character “แ” at prompt in Cursor Terminal**

2. **Set Code Page to UTF-8**

3. **Remove problematic PowerShell Profile**

### **:memo: Notes for Cursor:**

- **AI Agent uses Cursor Terminal emulation** not regular Windows Terminal

- **When user changes focus** AI Agent can no longer see Terminal

- **AI Agent may think commands succeeded** even when they actually failed

- **Must carefully check results** before proceeding

**The strange character “แ” comes from Cursor Terminal itself, not from AI Agent, and now we have fixed it with an automated protection system!** :bullseye::shield:
