Hey, thanks for the detailed report. This is a known issue. The count badge showing the number of changed files on the Source Control icon in Cursor doesn’t render reliably. `scm.countBadge` doesn’t behave the same way as in stock VS Code. We’ve already logged this on our side, but I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet.

As a temporary workaround, open the Source Control panel with `Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+G`. You’ll see the full list of pending changes and their status there.

You’re not the only one asking for this. There are a few threads about it, for example [Source control manager: show changes count badge on icon](https://forum.cursor.com/t/source-control-manager-show-changes-count-badge-on-icon/151296). If there’s an update, I’ll follow up.
