### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

Add **threads within agent conversations** , similar to Slack threads.

When working on a feature, side issues (e.g. debugging a test case, dependency problems) often arise and require longer back-and-forth. These subtopics clutter the main conversation and consume context.

Allow branching into a thread that keeps full context for the subtopic. When finished, return to the main conversation, with the thread automatically summarized (goal, outcome, key findings) so the primary context remains clean and prominent.
