Describe the Bug
I am not sure if this is a bug or not - but I am struggling in some cases to get models to stop running these terminal commands. For some reason, a symlink to the appImage intercepts its environment, and even when it activates the venv, it cannot execute the proper python command.
It becomes a massive hassle when the model’s tendencies are to create a test script and its next inferred tool call is to run it quickly. This also happens when it uses npm run build as a “check-down” for successful compilation, but we all sort of know errors from AI hardly are compilation breaking and often a bit more nuanced.
Steps to Reproduce
To reproduce, create a virtual environment, and create a package inside. Create a simple script, and then have the model try to activate the environment and run the script.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
