Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like the extension requires a newer VS Code version. Cursor’s core is currently 1.99.3, so you’ll be able to install the extension only after updating Cursor to a newer build.

As a workaround, you can ask the extension author to lower the minimum required version.
