No problem, I’ve been using it for a couple of hours now, and it works great. Much better quality/reliability of output. Running agent with ‘auto’.

A simple test is after you apply the update, just say, “do an ls -l on the current directory,” and that’s it. Once I knew that worked, it was all good.

I’ve been having the same issue. The AI agent said it found and fixed the issue (a corrupt cursor-zsh/.zshrc file). I will see if that prevents the problem from recurring on a daily basis. The agent had me file this bug report:
