fix(cursor-cli): ignore background task notification records in turn identity - #683
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.
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.
