Minor stable release (2026.08.25-3e8eec8): new CLI surface (--pool and related commands), conversation/worker plumbing, a new API host, and refreshed sandbox and native helpers.
Changelog
[new] Added a --pool flag for pooled runs.
[new] Added connects, on, and with CLI subcommands for composing agent sessions.
[new] Conversation context can be correlated via CURSOR_CONVERSATION_ID.
[changed] The cursor-agent launcher only enables the Node compile cache when HOME is set, so cache paths are not configured in empty-home environments.
No shipped model ID or default model changes in this release. Internal hooks land for additional model budget tracking ahead of broader rollout.
Under the hood
Worker desktop support: environment knobs for display, frame source, geometry, input, and X startup (CURSOR_WORKER_DESKTOP_*), for agents that need a headed desktop session.
Cloud/subagent hosting paths continue to land (native cloud subagent and richer host–subagent interaction tracking).
Background agent wake-up enqueueing and shell-output notification matching for more reliable async agent behavior.
Early canvas preview and “create repo” tray / cloud-publish flows; local user mount handling for store/workspace setups.
New API endpoint: https://api.cursor.co.
Telemetry cleanup: prototype project and review-redirect events dropped; user id and related agent-host metrics added.
License bundle no longer lists js-yaml (dependency churn only).
Upgrade notes
If you wrap or minimalize the environment for CI, ensure HOME is set when you want Node compile caching; without it the cache is left unset by design.
Treat worker desktop variables and pool/connect-style commands as new surface area—verify scripts and automation if you pin flags or env strictly.
