Cursor automatically edits files and misreads imports without confirmation

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Unwanted automatic file edits:
Cursor modifies files without waiting for my explicit confirmation.
I expect Cursor to only edit files after I confirm again (for example: after I say “Yes, apply this change”).

File not being read when referenced:
When I ask a question that refers to or includes a file, Cursor does not properly read or analyze the file before responding.
As a result, the response is often incorrect or missing context from the file.

Incorrect library imports:
Cursor sometimes generates incorrect or unusual import statements,
This issue did not occur previously with the same project setup.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the project in Cursor.
Ask Cursor to edit or explain a file.
Observe Cursor automatically editing or importing incorrectly without confirmation.

Expected Behavior

Cursor should only modify files after my explicit confirmation.
Cursor should read and understand the referenced file when I ask questions related to it.
Cursor should generate correct import statements based on the project’s actual structure and dependencies.
