False Warning for Hook Script Path in `.cursor/` Directory

[x_zhang]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor IDE shows a false warning (red text with warning icon) in the hooks configuration UI when the hook script path points to a file inside the .cursor/ directory, even though the script executes successfully.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a hook script at .cursor/hooks/format.sh with executable permissions
2. Configure hooks.json with the path ./.cursor/hooks/format.sh:

   {
     "version": 1,
     "hooks": {
       "afterFileEdit": [{ "command": "./.cursor/hooks/format.sh" }]
     }
   }
   

3. Observe the hooks configuration UI showing a red warning icon next to the path
