Describe the Bug
So I have Cursor doing some longer in the tooth developing to test capabilities etc. and I’ve noticed that with longer stints of coding, it will just forget that the todo list exists and almost “reset” to initial prompt. It does reexamine the code structure etc, but then recreates a new to-do list (sometimes redoing prior steps)…that wastes a lot of generation requests to do so.
Steps to Reproduce
Have Cursor create something that requires an extensive amount of code, where the steps number from 8-10 total, like a backend server with enterprise features.
Expected Behavior
Expected that after the history summary step, that Cursor would still have awareness of the to-do list and begin at next step.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
