Debugging environment.json changes

What happens when I change my environment.json? When I change it, and try to run a background agent, I get this vague warning:

The local state of environment.json is newer than the remote state. This is fine, but may not be what you intended.

What does that mean? If I start the background agent from my cursor IDE with this comment, which enviornment.json install command will be run?

The objective I’m trying to accomplish is debugging how I’m inserting my npm token from the cursor secret manager into my .npmrc so that cursor can npm install our organization’s private packages.

But with this vague message, I’m unsure exactly how I’m supposed to debug this problem.
