Problem

After a server restart interrupts a Cursor turn, later sends can fail permanently with already has active run. Reproduced on Linux with Cursor Auto by restarting twice during sleep 90: the first recovery cancels its orphan, but the second reads that older cancelled run and misses the currently running one.

Change

Follow the Cursor SDK run-list cursors and select the newest running run before the existing cancel-and-retry recovery. Keep the same resumed-session guard and single recovery attempt. The regression mock now models oldest-first pagination, with the abandoned run after 50 terminal runs.

Scope and approval

Fixes #24498

GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/24498

Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. This changes only Cursor server recovery and its focused test; clients and wire contracts are unchanged. The reporter’s existing #24499 is left untouched.

Verification

• After consolidating the pagination regression in ae6400ded5, vp run check:changed passed with all 5 selected tests.

• After merging origin/main with git merge -s ort at 98b8b18692, vp run check:changed passed: formatting, lint, knip, typechecks for 10 packages, and all 6 selected tests. Merge and verification by GPT 6.1 Sol through Codex.

• Red regression on main: CursorAgentSdkRunnerError: Cursor Agent SDK run.start failed, caused by already has active run (one failed, one passed).

• Final focused run after merging main: vp test run src/server/CursorAgentSdk.test.ts in packages/provider-cursor: 2 passed. The regression requires the active run on page two; a mock with no next cursor fails.

• Scoped lint, format, and provider tsc --noEmit passed.

• Two independent review rounds (GPT-6.1-Sol and Claude Opus 5.5) approved the final diff; proof audit passed.

Evidence	Before	After
Real web app, Linux x64, Cursor Auto, SDK 1.0.35	Runtime transcript: second restart and subsequent send fail	Runtime transcript: both orphans cancelled, second recovery completes, subsequent send completes

Runtime proof used main 8176b58931 before and 1e2fe076db after. The current head merges newer main, preserves the pagination fix, and includes upstream Cursor steering support. The focused checks were rerun after resolving the test-file merge conflict. The clean after run uses its own native agent, consistently across both recoveries and the follow-up. No render paths changed, so the visual matrix is empty. No platform-specific code changed; desktop/mobile shells were not separately exercised.

Models and harnesses: Claude Opus 5.5 through the Claude harness (tests and implementation); GPT-6.1-Sol through Codex and Claude Opus 5.5 through Claude (reviews); GPT-6.1-Sol through Codex (issue lead and proof).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at ae6400d

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Restarted Cursor threads now search all run-history pages so existing recovery can find an active run behind older entries. Cancellation and retry remain confined to the existing one-time recovery path for resumed sessions.

Notes:

• No code objects were reviewed. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

Walkthrough

The Cursor runner now paginates through run results during active-run recovery. It retains the last running run found, then cancels it and retries the send.

Changes: Cursor run recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Paginated abandoned-run recovery packages/provider-cursor/src/server/CursorAgentSdk.ts, packages/provider-cursor/src/server/CursorAgentSdk.test.ts	The runner follows run-list cursors and retains the last running run found. The test mock models paginated results and cancellation. The resumed-send test verifies two page requests, then cancellation and retry.

This fixes recovery of Cursor threads after a server restart when the active run sits beyond the first page of results. I found no remaining merge-blocking risk.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(cursor): recover restarted threads with older runs" matches the main change: Cursor server recovery now follows run-list cursors to find the newest running run after a restart, instead of reading only the first oldest-first page. It is a conventional commit title in plain language and names the scope (cursor).

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the change, scope and approval (linked issue #24498, triaged bug, scope limited to Cursor server recovery), and extensive verification with specific commands, results, and runtime evidence. All template sections are present and substantively filled. Minor concerns: the Scope section cites an automated issue flow and a GitCafe link rather than explicit maintainer approval, and the verification section is long and includes some process detail, but the template's requirements are essentially met.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#24498] requires that a resumed Cursor turn cancel the abandoned run and continue, or fail once and succeed on retry. At the reviewed head, packages/provider-cursor/src/server/CursorAgentSdk.ts replaces the single Agent.listRuns call with limit: 1 by a loop that follows nextCursor across all pages. Each page uses findLast for a running run, and a later match replaces an earlier one. The existing cancel-and-retry path and the single recovery guard (abandonedRunRecoveryAvailable) are unchanged. The test file at head models oldest-first pagination with a default page size of 50. It seeds 50 terminal runs followed by the running run run-stale. It asserts two listRuns calls, the cursor "50" on the second call, cancelRun for run-stale, and a retried run.start. This covers the reported failure. The consolidated test is the current form of the regression. This assessment did not execute the test suite; it relies on the code and test source read at head. Residual risk: the pagination loop has no explicit bound. A repeating nextCursor from the SDK would not terminate. This does not block the requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against the merge base changes two files in scope. CursorAgentSdk.ts adds the Run type import and the paginated active-run search. CursorAgentSdk.test.ts contains the regression test and its mock updates. Both implement objective [#24498]. The Run.steer test in the same file targets production steering code that does not appear in the whole-PR production diff, so it predates this PR and is not an out-of-scope addition. No client, wire contract, or unrelated file appears in the reviewed evidence. The incremental diff from the previous reviewed head could not be read because changed blobs were missing from the checkout. Scope conclusions rely on the whole-PR production diff and the full test file at head.

Fold pagination into the existing recovery test.

The existing "retries a resumed send after cancelling its abandoned local run" case exercises the same recovery path. Extend its fixture with the 50 terminal runs and update its operation-order assertion for two pages. Retain its complete cancellation-argument assertion instead of adding a separate case. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per coding guidelines: “When an existing test or table covers the behavior, add a row or an assertion there.”

Note

Generated by GPT 6.1 Sol

Addressed the test consolidation finding in ae6400d. The existing resumed-send test now places the abandoned run after 50 terminal runs, checks both pagination calls and the full cancellation arguments, and verifies cancellation precedes the retry. Removed the separate duplicate case. vp run check:changed passes, including all 5 selected tests and affected typechecks.
