You built it fast in Cursor. Now every change breaks two other things, files silently fail to save, or the agent edited code you never asked it to touch. Cursor is a great prototyping tool and a rough production tool — here's why, and how I fix it.

Cursor builds its understanding from open files and its index. Once a project spans more than a handful of files, it can't see everything at once — so it guesses, edits files unrelated to your request, or invents functions that don't exist in your codebase.
Ask Cursor to fix one bug and it patches the symptom, not the cause. The fix breaks two other things, which need their own fixes, which break two more. Tangled logic in a single large file makes this worse.
Cursor has shipped updates where files failed to save reliably, or chat history and worktrees got corrupted. What you see in the editor isn't always what's actually on disk.
Agent mode changes files you didn't ask it to touch — auth logic, config, unrelated components — and reports success even when it changed the wrong thing. Repo-triggered exploit classes (like prompt injection via a malicious file) have also been documented against agentic IDEs, including Cursor.
Version updates have broken Cursor's diff view outright, making review impossible and leading teams to merge changes blind — which is how small bugs turn into production incidents.

/04 Questions
No. I meet your code where it is. If Cursor is still useful for your team day to day, keep using it — I fix what's broken and set up guardrails so the next AI-generated change doesn't reintroduce the same bugs.
Usually an agent edit touched something outside the scope you asked for, or an update changed how Cursor applies diffs. I diagnose the actual git history to find the exact change, not just the symptom.
Yes — auth logic, exposed keys, and unreviewed autonomous edits are exactly what I audit for first. If something's exposed, you'll know within the diagnostic.
Rarely. Most Cursor rescues are a Stabilize engagement, not a rebuild. I'll tell you honestly if a targeted rebuild is actually faster.
