Minor release: new create_file agent tool, Claude Opus 5 / Fable 5 model support, a bedrock subcommand, and sandbox/MDM policy hardening.
[new] Added a built-in create_file tool so the agent can create files directly as part of coding tasks.
[new] Added a bedrock CLI subcommand for Amazon Bedrock workflows.
[new] Model support for claude-opus-5 and claude-fable-5.
[changed] Sandbox configuration now supports a dedicated policy directory (CURSOR_SANDBOX_POLICY_DIR) for clearer policy control.
[new] MDM sign-in policy support via CURSOR_MDM_SIGN_IN_POLICY_JSON for managed environments.
[removed] Desktop bridge directory env (CURSOR_DESKTOP_BRIDGE_DIR) is no longer used.
[changed] Updated sandbox and related native helpers (cursorsandbox, crepectl, file service, merkle-tree bindings).
[new] Tree-sitter and tree-sitter-bash native bindings are included for improved shell/code parsing support.
Models & prompts
claude-opus-5 and claude-fable-5 are available as model identifiers in this build.
- No default-model change is called out in this release; existing model selection behaviour otherwise carries forward.
Under the hood
- Agent store/sync path work: store-backed runs, sync-on-write, conflict notices, and optional artifact symlink handling — foundations for more reliable multi-session agent state.
- Richer request-context handling (context blob prep/size metrics and context injection) to improve how large context is assembled before model calls.
- Goal-continuation and exec decode instrumentation for longer-running agent flows.
- Managed-auth and GitHub config hooks for enterprise/MDM deployments (
managedauthrewritescope, managedghconfig).
- Shared session file watcher and optional image display path in the CLI.
- Additional playground/staging API hosts wired for internal and pre-release environments.
- License/attribution updates (including long.js / Closure Library Apache-2.0 notice).
Upgrade notes
- If you relied on
CURSOR_DESKTOP_BRIDGE_DIR, remove or replace that configuration; it is no longer read.
- For locked-down or MDM-managed installs, review
CURSOR_MDM_SIGN_IN_POLICY_JSON and CURSOR_SANDBOX_POLICY_DIR when rolling out policy.
