Cursor crashes SSH host

Thanks for the info. Let me clarify two things:

About the “deleted files”

The files were not deleted by the agent. What you’re seeing is a known bug in the review panel where files keep accumulating even though they aren’t actually deleted. Other users have hit the same issue:

Workaround: close the current chat, it should temporarily clear the review panel. The team is working on a fix.

About the SSH crash

This is a serious issue. Cursor spawns a huge number of processes and can take down the host. To pass this to the engineers, we need the info from post #4:

  • A screenshot of your extensions list (Cursor Settings > Extensions)
  • Your Cursor version
  • Approximate size of the WordPress folder

Try this workaround:

  • Connect over SSH to an empty folder
  • Go to Settings > Extensions > … > Disable All Extensions
  • Try opening the WordPress folder again
  • If it works, re-enable extensions one by one to find the one causing it

If it still happens with all extensions disabled, it could be a bug in Remote SSH itself or the indexing component. Let me know what you find.
