When asking cursor to do something, there is a horrible visual confusion between “cursor is doing it’s thing…” (with ←larsen scanner→ effect, running back and forth like a progress bar), and the ABSENCE of changing it into a pulsing “YO, USER! I NEED YOUR ATTENTION HERE!” (…before I can search the web, run the unit tests, whatever)
Reproduce by asking cursor agent: “can you search the web so i can see what your confirmation prompt looks like?”
Basically your visual design language doesn’t distinguish between the “← planning next moves →” and “← Confirm search … →” in the animations used.
It SHOULD distinguish between “← you can ignore me →” to “→ i need your attention ←” (ie: scan == indeterminate progress indicator, pulse == action required to make further progress).
Thanks!
