Thanks for the response, @deanrie. Some updates.

- Clearing `~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/` does not fix the issue for me.

- A new chat does not fix the issue for me

- Here are the console logs, cleared before and after issuing a prompt of “Please get the current date from the embedded terminal.” [cursor-logs.txt](https://forum.cursor.com/uploads/short-url/lkpWShZFo9lDBblNdiCtA0Pl9Om.txt) (14.5 KB) (Screenshot also attached, with verbose filtered out). This was interesting, because /bin/zsh seems to be getting involved. That exists and is executable, though it’s not the shell I want to be using.

- I’m using Ghostty 1.2.3 Build 12214, and fish is version 3.7.1. Attached is my zipped fish config.

I’ve also tried the solutions in [this thread](https://forum.cursor.com/t/how-to-fix-cursor-agent-not-using-default-zsh-shell-on-macos/37734/11) to no luck.
