Cursor always cancelling some commands

Not only did my agentic YOLO behavior for some reason come to an end (it never executes commands etc automatically any longer, but allows me to manually press the “Run command” button), but the most annoying part is that some commands are immediately cancelled, every time.

For example:
$ npx npm-check-updates
Need to install the following packages:
npm-check-updates@17.1.14
Ok to proceed? (y) ^Cnpm ERR! canceled

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/username/.npm/_logs/2025-02-03T11_02_55_336Z-debug-0.log

Hey, you can probably add something in your "Rules for AI’ to instruct it to not use CTRL+C / SIGINT to try to stop the program, and explain you are able to do it yourself!

We do hope to improve the out of the box behaviour on this soon!

Seems to help actually. The agentic behavior is still gone as soon as it has to execute a command, which it refuses, but instead “normal” and “agent” mode now has the exact same behavior. No difference what-so-ever as far as I can see. Unless this is a known error I can just attempt to reinstall I suppose.

Even without the command abilities, an agent’s power is its ability to figure out what it needs to do the job, and go out and discover it!

Doesn’t diminish the fact that the agent should be able to run terminal queries without cancelling them - we will hopefully get this resolved soon!
