Summary

cursor-agent 2026.10.22 appends its own user records to the ACP session store when a background shell task finishes. They carry a task-notification payload in user-record field 15 and a <system_notification> body, and they can be written inside the same prompt as the Host turn. The Cursor terminal check required exactly one new native user record matching the prompt, so any turn during which a background task finished was rewritten from succeeded to failed with Cursor terminal has no unique, verified native turn identity, and lost its nativeTurnRef and fork checkpoint.

Changes:

  • native-history.ts: mark user records that carry field 15 as notification: true. Other records and all existing fields are unchanged.
  • adapter.ts: verify the turn identity against non-notification records only. The check still requires an unchanged history prefix, after.length === before.length + added.length, and exactly one new non-notification record whose text equals the submitted prompt; nativeTurnRef and the checkpoint use that record's ID. A turn that only added notification records still fails.

This keeps Cursor's native history intact (notification records stay in the list for fork / rewind boundaries) and only stops them from being mistaken for the prompt's echo. A similar background-task continuation case was handled for Claude Code in #501.

Follow-up not covered here: the rewind boundary for editing the last turn (native.length - 1, related to #576) can still land on a trailing notification record instead of the user's last prompt; that should be handled together with #576.

Test plan

  • npx tsc -b --pretty false — passes.
  • npx vitest run packages/adapters/cursor-cli — 17 files, 189 tests passed.
  • New tests:
    • cursor.test.ts: a turn followed by two background task notifications succeeds and its nativeTurnRef points to the prompt record; a turn that only added a notification still fails. With the previous adapter.ts the first test fails.
    • native-history.test.ts: field-15 user records are returned with notification: true; other records have no such property.
  • npx prettier --check and npx eslint packages/adapters/cursor-cli — clean.
  • Real-data check: the patched reader against a copy of an affected cursor-agent 2026.10.22 session (macOS arm64) identified 11 notification records and 7 prompt records, matching the native contents.
  • Not verified: an end-to-end run of a patched build inside Codex Desktop (the installed app was left untouched).

…identity

cursor-agent 2026.10.22 appends its own user records to the ACP session
store when a background shell task finishes. Those records carry a task
notification payload in field 15 and a <system_notification> body, and
they can land inside the same prompt as the Host turn.

The terminal check required exactly one new native user record whose text
matched the prompt, so any turn during which a background task finished
was rewritten from succeeded to failed with "Cursor terminal has no
unique, verified native turn identity", without a nativeTurnRef or fork
checkpoint.

Mark field-15 records as notifications when reading native history and
verify the turn identity against the non-notification records only,
while still requiring an unchanged prefix and exactly one matching prompt
record.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 问题修复
    • 修复 Cursor 提示前后出现后台通知时,完成事件可能关联到错误记录的问题;现在会根据与本次提示匹配的原生记录识别回合。
    • 仅新增后台通知、没有匹配提示的原生记录时,操作仍会判定为失败。
    • 符合历史位置条件且 Cursor Fork 可用时,才会为成功回合添加检查点。
  • 文档
    • 补充 Cursor CLI 后台任务完成通知的兼容说明;通知仍保留在原生历史中,可用于回放和分支操作。

Cursor 原生历史解析器现在标记后台任务通知记录。适配器在验证回合身份时排除这些记录,并使用唯一匹配本次输入的非通知记录设置原生回合引用。符合记录位置条件且 Fork 可用时,适配器生成检查点。

Changes: Cursor 原生回合身份校验

Layer / File(s) Summary
识别后台任务通知
packages/adapters/cursor-cli/src/native-history.ts, packages/adapters/cursor-cli/test/native-history.test.ts
CursorNativeTurn 新增可选的 notification 标记。解析器在用户记录的字段 15 非空时设置该标记。测试覆盖通知记录的 protobuf 数据和解析结果。
验证提示对应的原生回合
packages/adapters/cursor-cli/src/adapter.ts, packages/adapters/cursor-cli/test/cursor.test.ts, docs/harnesses/cursor/cursor-cli-experimental.md
适配器排除通知记录,并要求新增的非通知记录恰有一条、文本与本次输入一致且历史前缀未变。适配器使用匹配记录的 ID 设置原生回合引用;符合位置条件且 Fork 可用时,使用该 ID 设置检查点。测试覆盖有无 rewindRoot 时的结果,以及仅新增通知记录时失败。文档说明字段 15 的兼容规则和适用范围。

Explanation

已满足直接关联问题 #682 的编码要求。native-history.ts 将含字段 15 的用户记录标记为 notification: true。adapter.ts 在保持历史前缀和新增记录总数校验的同时,排除通知记录,并要求恰有一条非通知记录与提交提示完全匹配。该记录用于 nativeTurnRef 和 fork checkpoint。新增测试覆盖通知记录前后追加时的成功结果,以及仅新增通知记录时的失败结果。#576 所述 rewind 边界属于当前描述明确排除的后续范围。

补充成功路径的 checkpoint 断言。

成功测试只断言了 nativeTurnRef.nativeTurnKey。在 fork 可用时,适配器会用同一个提示记录 ID 构造 outcome.checkpoint。如果 checkpointId 被误设为通知记录的 ID,该测试仍会通过。

cursorForkAvailable() 仅在 macOS 或 Linux 且存在 /usr/bin/script 时返回 true。因此,应只在 fork 可用时执行该断言。

🧪 建议的测试修改
import { cursorForkAvailable } from "../src/fork-support.js";
     expect(terminal[0]).toMatchObject({
       event: {
         outcome: { status: "succeeded" },
         nativeTurnRef: { nativeTurnKey: native.turns[1]?.id },
       },
     });
+    if (cursorForkAvailable())
+      expect(terminal[0]).toMatchObject({
+        event: { outcome: { checkpoint: { checkpointId: native.turns[1]?.id } } },
+      });

819-819: Data Integrity & Integration

未建立 session/load 丢失通知回放组的前提。

cursorSnapshot() 在该前提成立时确实会抛出 Cursor replay/native turn count mismatch。但仓库没有证明 Cursor 的 session/load 不会为通知记录返回 user_message_chunk。现有通知测试只验证 nativeTurnRef,不能支持该外部行为的断言,因此不能要求修改快照对齐逻辑。


819-820: Data Integrity & Integration

通知先于提示时的子任务索引可能失配,但真实写入顺序仍需确认。

若通知记录先于本轮提示写入,实时子任务句柄使用的 before.length 会比 cursorSnapshot 使用的最终 native 索引小一位。当前测试只模拟了该记录顺序,没有包含 Task 工具调用,也没有证明真实 Cursor 会产生该顺序。因此暂不能安全要求修改地址映射。

不要为缺少回退锚点的通知记录发出 checkpoint。

当前测试数据中的第一条后续通知没有 rewindRoot。forkCursorSession 会把它作为 checkpoint 后的回退边界,并拒绝 Fork。Turn 完成逻辑应使用与投影层相同的可用性判断。该测试也应断言此场景不提供 checkpoint,同时继续断言 nativeTurnRef 使用提示记录的 ID。

建议修正 checkpoint 判断
