Network issues and waiting for review

Bug Reports

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I am seeing a lot of network issues as of recent at the very end of the response and cursor simply failing to create/edit a file. It’s hanging with waiting for review in agent mode (without an actual way to approve). Not that it should ask for approval to save/edit a file).

This happens intermittently more often in worktrees. Anyone else seening this?

I am on latest version of Cursor on Mac.

Steps to Reproduce

No consistent steps but simply making any request in agent mode in a worktree.

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known bug with worktrees - Cursor incorrectly handles file paths in .cursor/worktrees and requires confirmation for every edit.

To confirm:

  • Are you using git worktrees in this project?
  • Open Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console and share the errors when “waiting for review” happens.

Quick checks:

  • Cursor Settings → Agents → Auto-Run Mode → switch to “Run Everything (Unsandboxed)”
  • Disable all protections: Cursor Settings → Agents → Auto-Run → External-File Protection and Dotfile Protection
  • Try opening each repository in a separate Cursor window instead of multi-root workspace

The team is already working on a fix.

If it’s worktree + agent mode, I’ll pass it to the engineers. Share the results of the checks.
