Describe the Bug
After a while, sometimes around an hour or more it seems the edit tools and llm get out of sync, with the end result being the model is no longer able to make code edits. This has been experienced consistently across several models. A restart of Cursor seems to help for a while but if ignored this has resulted in wide spread code changes which do not have accept prompts from the user. In two cases now, the edits have introduced a parallel implementation on top of my existing code, breaking things almost everywhere. The longer it goes between reboots, the more dramatic the code changes are. The LLM is super confused at this point and often gets stuck in a loop trying to reconcile the differences it perceives from in memory file details, whats on disk and what the edit tools context is. I would day this has been introduced into this latest version.
Steps to Reproduce
Just using it for a prolonged amount of time on anything that is more than the very simplest of tasks.
Expected Behavior
Context and source code should stay aligned between LLM, edit and disk.

Additional Information
I use Cursor about 10 hours per day and have not seen this until the last couple of weeks. It gets pretty nasty with the LLM trying to do increasingly desperate things that end up destroying the code base. One project was not even recoverable since the edits had been made in the background without approval. The LLM was able to confirm this and was also confused it seems.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
