I’ve just sat at my laptop and apparently I can’t even select a branch on desktop. I’ve tried several repos and could reproduce the issue for all of them.

Hey, thanks for the report.
The same issue was discussed here: GitHub Agent "Select Branch" Dropdown Disabled for Org Repo
To figure out the cause, we need some desktop diagnostics:
Open cursor.com/agents in a desktop browser
Open DevTools (F12) and go to the Network tab
Select the nicu-chiciuc/allegis repository
Find the get-repository-branches request
Check the Response. There should be an error
If the error says “Background agent is not supported in Privacy Mode (Legacy)”:
If it’s a different error, please paste the error text from the Response here.
