Happens when doing anything related to npm. Running cursor . also ends me up in the AppImage’s virtual directory after putting cursor into /opt/cursor and adding that to PATH with my usual ~/.bashrc alias. This did not occour prior to updating to 0.46.0:

Here’s that portion of ~/.bashrc:

cursor() {
  # Run the cursor command and suppress background process output completely
  (nohup /opt/cursor/cursor.AppImage --no-sandbox "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 &)
}

I use the usual nohup trick to avoid the AppImage forking itself into the foreground/taking over the terminal process. Again, nothings changed, and this worked before the update.
