+VSCodeAdded rate limit warning banner with usage percentage and reset time

~Deep links (claude-cli://) now open in your preferred terminal instead of whichever terminal happens to be first in the detection list
~Rules and skills paths: frontmatter now accepts a YAML list of globs
~MCP tool descriptions and server instructions are now capped at 2KB to prevent OpenAPI-generated servers from bloating context
~MCP servers configured both locally and via claude.ai connectors are now deduplicated — the local config wins

↑Improved detection for dangerous removals of Windows drive roots (`C:\`, `C:\Windows`, etc.)
↑Improved interactive startup by ~30ms by running `setup()` in parallel with slash command and agent loading
↑Improved startup for claude "prompt" with MCP servers — the REPL now renders immediately instead of blocking until all servers connect

↑Improved p90 prompt cache rate
↑Reduced scroll-to-top resets in long sessions by making the message window immune to compaction and grouping changes

✓Fixed up/down arrow keys being unresponsive when a footer item is focused
✓Fixed Ctrl+U (kill-to-line-start) being a no-op at line boundaries in multiline input, so repeated `Ctrl+U` now clears across lines
✓Fixed null-unbinding a default chord binding (e.g. `"ctrl+x ctrl+k": null`) still entering chord-wait mode instead of freeing the prefix key
✓Fixed mouse events inserting literal "mouse" text into transcript search input
✓Fixed workflow subagents failing with API 400 when the outer session uses `--json-schema` and the subagent also specifies a schema
✓Fixed missing background color behind certain emoji in user message bubbles on some terminals
✓Fixed the "allow Claude to edit its own settings for this session" permission option not sticking for users with `Edit(.claude)` allow rules

Cursor now supports self-hosted cloud agents that keep your code and tool execution entirely in your own network.

Your codebase, build outputs, and secrets all stay on internal machines running in your infrastructure, while the agent handles tool calls locally.

Self-hosted cloud agents offer the same capabilities as Cursor-hosted cloud agents, including isolated VMs, full development environments, multi-model harnesses, plugins, and more.

Try it out today by enabling self-hosted cloud agents in your Cursor Dashboard. Read more in our announcement.

~Sessions are now auto-named from plan content when you accept a plan
