Hey, the loader usually hangs due to some issues in Cursor. Some extensions might be performing analysis or formatting, causing the interface to become unresponsive. Try restarting Cursor, or close and reopen the project from the “Open Folder” menu. You can also try starting in safe mode with `cursor --disable-extensions`.
