Describe the Bug
In Output, when Cursor is indexing files, it tells me that is is struggling with size of directory. I’m in Users//Cursor Projects/. The output hits a non-existent file from a Proton VPN installation. The output then throws a fatal error, there are multiple messages enclosed. This is documented in ‘steps to reproduce’. There is no access to agent at this point

This may be because:
- You have opened your home directory or entire hard drive as a workspace
- Your workspace contains a very large number of directories and files
- Your workspace contains a symlink to a directory with many files
- Your workspace is remote, and file enumeration is slow
To reduce this time, open a workspace directory with fewer files or add a pyrightconfig.json configuration file with an “exclude” section to exclude subdirectories from your workspace. For more details, refer to pyright/docs/configuration.md at main · microsoft/pyright · GitHub.
