@violet carbon you are using Mac? Is that familiar?

[violet carbon]

Try to open terminal after it gets stuck and press enter, which shell are you using?

@viscid nymph i wish haha but yes, its familiar bro

[late bough]

Yes I commonly see this

[late bough]

"You're using Z shell (zsh), which is the default shell on macOS.
The evidence from your terminal:
SHELL environment variable: /bin/zsh
Current process: /bin/zsh
Prompt format: HP@MacBook-Pro BBSMVPFINALE % (the % is characteristic of zsh, unlike bash which uses $)
Zsh is a powerful shell that offers many features like better tab completion, syntax highlighting, and plugin support. It's the default shell on macOS since Catalina (10.15) and later versions."

Can you try: cursor --force-pod [REQUEST_ID] by any chance?

[late bough]

"✅ Bottom line: You cannot run cursor --force-pod on your build — it’s not supported. Use --cancel-request <REQUEST_ID> instead. "

Your Cursor version is: 2025.08.27-24c29c1
This appears to be a development build from August 27, 2025, with commit hash 24c29c1.
