Describe the Bug

Deleted my js and css file in the middle of editing with no way to recover.

Steps to Reproduce

Interrupt cursor chat while its editing a file. have the interruption give a bad api request error. Then try again and the js file is gone.

Expected Behavior

I had 2 cursor chats going at once and one seemed to get frozen so I cancelled the command and did some more things to get it to restart but as you can see in the video after I tried to go back to a previous checkpoint both my js and css files were completely gone. They were not in the recycling bin afterward and no amount of checkpoint restoration afterward brought them back. My computer was completely frozen shortly afterward and I had to restart it.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I was screen recording and have a better video that’s too large to upload here if anyone from cursor wants to see.

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you upload the video to a cloud service, like Google Drive? Also, could you share the request ID? For this, you need to disable privacy mode if it’s enabled, then reproduce the issue when it happens again and copy the ID.
