Since a few updates ago, I keep seeing Cursor (chat) stopping and waiting for my confirmation to edit files that are inside the current repo, but that were not specifically tagged inside the chat.

This is super annoying and I could not find a specific setting for this case.

Any suggestions?

Seems like Cursor behavior had changed. I had to toggle the auto allow change outside workspace so chat doesn’t stop when it needs to edit files _within_ workspace..
