Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor version: [Cursor → About Cursor]
OS: macOS darwin 25.5.0
Steps to reproduce:

Open a new Agent chat
Ask: «какая сегодня дата?»
Expected: Agent reports the correct current date (June 14, 2026).
Actual: Agent reports June 14, 2025, because the system context contains:
Today’s date: Sunday Jun 14, 2025
The day of week is correct for 2026, but the year is wrong by one.

Request ID: [Chat → «…» → Copy Request ID]
Impact: Any date-sensitive answers (deadlines, versioning, logs) may be off by a year.

Сегодня воскресенье, 14 июня 2026 года, а не 2025-го.

Проблема на стороне Cursor: в системный контект агента подставляется неверный год:

Today’s date: Sunday Jun 14, 2025
При этом день недели указан верно (14 июня 2026 — это как раз воскресенье), значит ошибка именно в годе.

Время запроса: 2026-06-14T13:16:28 UTC, чат a4e0f547-090b-42f4-9d6a-cfc7e30fe0fe.

The date injected into the agent’s context is correct: it says 2026. The giveaway is exactly what you noticed - the weekday is right but the year is off. “Sunday, June 14” only lines up with 2026 (June 14, 2025 was a Saturday), so no real date produces “Sunday + 2025.” What’s happening is the model occasionally falls back to its training year (2025) when it answers, rather than reading the correct date we give it. So this is a model-side quirk, not a wrong value in your context.
