Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. The issue where agent commands either don’t run at all or run with a big delay is a known problem in version 2.2.20. On macOS, it’s often related to shell config or issues detecting command completion.

Similar reports: Agent Terminal not working

This looks like a regression affecting many macOS users in 2.2.20. The team is already working on it.
