Additional Information

I am on using WSL2, Cursor is so bad without it that i would consider it quite unusable

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I just downgraded and it started indexing directly

Update: I just reinstalled the latest version and now alhamdulillah it is working for now, as it retained the previous index.

Now my docs indexing are all failing as well (sigh)

and now the main issue is back wow
