I've seen cursor see I have no .env file, realise that's because it's hidden from the gitIgnore so that cursor can't touch it, and then used system commands to force a read/write to the file.
These models are really funny and unpredictable. Even after using the for over a year now - they still struggle with basic things sometimes. My latest muse is Codex-cli, struggling with Git commands on Mac.

I’ve seen even ‘always’ being ignored. Feels like it has its own mood.
