Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor CLI
Describe the Bug
Same as Cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Steps to Reproduce
try to run any cursor-agent newer than 2025.09.17-25b418f on WSL Ubuntu 20LTS
[cnd@RoG:~/.local/share/cursor-agent/versions]$ 2025.09.17-25b418f/node -v
v22.18.0
[cnd@RoG:~/.local/share/cursor-agent/versions]$ 2025.11.06-8fe8a63/node -v
-bash: 2025.11.06-8fe8a63/node: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
[cnd@RoG: Err:1~/.local/share/cursor-agent/versions]$ file 2025.09.17-25b418f/node

[cnd@RoG:~/.local/share/cursor-agent/versions]$
Expected Behavior
Should work the same as 2025.09.17-25b418f does.
Operating System
Linux
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
linux version:
2025.11.06-8fe8a63
Additional Information
the workaround is to delete the node binary and symlink the working node in its place, which is annoying, because every time cursor-agent updates itself (frequent) it breaks again.
This is an easy fix. Go back to shipping node v22.18.0 instead of whatever broken new one you started using after 2025.09.17-25b418f
Does this stop you from using Cursor
Yes - Cursor is unusable
