fix(cursor): send the catalog's default model parameters on every Cursor run - #28722
The Cursor provider sends only the model options a selection carries explicitly. A chat whose model comes from Settings' default, delegate_task without options, scheduled tasks, mobile, and Cursor text generation all reach Cursor with some or all parameters missing. Cursor Plus rejects those runs with "Model unavailable on Plus … with fixed settings". The reporter's first run on a new chat sent {"model":{"id":"grok-4.5"}} and failed. Later runs that carried params succeeded.
Reproduced on main 1d626d0 with the web dev server and the real Cursor SDK 1.0.38 (API key, not a Plus account). With Settings' default set to Cursor Grok 4.5, a new thread sent its first prompt without anyone opening the picker. The composer showed "Grok 4.5 High", but run.start carried only fast=false.
Change
cursorSdkModelSelection now takes the provider's catalog. For every parameter the model advertises and the selection leaves unset, it sends the catalog default, which is the value the picker shows. Options the selection carries still win. An unset Fast is sent as off, matching the web composer's existing rule (withImplicitFastModeDefault). Models missing from the catalog send only their explicit options, as before.
The adapter passes its catalog (getModels) at agent open and on every send. The driver passes the same catalog to Cursor text generation.
vp test run packages/provider-cursor/src/server/: 14 files, 105 tests pass. The two new tests fail without the fix:
adapter.test.ts, "sends every catalog parameter when the selection leaves them unset": on main, agent.create and the first run.start get no params, and a run with only fastMode:false lacks effort.
textGeneration.test.ts, "sends every catalog parameter when the selection leaves them unset": Agent.create got a bare model id.
driver.test.ts: the catalog-default handoff case now expects params: [context=1m] instead of a bare id.
vp run check:changed passes.
Runtime transcript from the web dev server on a fresh database (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0), real Cursor SDK, run.start options from the provider event log:
# before: main 1d626d02d9
pick Grok 4.5 in the picker, send: params [effort=high, fast=false]
new thread reusing the picked model: params [effort=high, fast=false]
Settings default {cursor, grok-4.5}, picker untouched, send: params [fast=false] <- effort missing
# after: fix/issue-28713 f85838ff22, same steps as the last row
agent.create: params [fast=false, effort=high]
run.start: params [fast=false, effort=high] -> run finished, assistant replied
Not verified: acceptance on a real Cursor Plus account (none available). The reporter's logs show params on 63 of 63 successful runs and on none of the 9 failures. Cursor text generation is covered by its unit test only. Server-only change, so there are no screenshots.
Claude Opus 5.5 (lead, red test, implementation) and GPT-6.1 Sol (review) in Claude Code via T3 Code.
Adds a failing adapter test: with a grok-4.5 catalog from getModels, a
selection with no options (Settings default) and one with only fastMode
false both reach the Cursor SDK without the catalog's effort default, at
agent open and on send. These tests reproduce #28713.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Cursor rejects runs on some plans ("Model unavailable on Plus ... with fixed
settings") when the model selection leaves a catalog parameter unset. New
chats using the Settings default, delegate_task without options, scheduled
tasks and mobile all sent incomplete selections.
cursorSdkModelSelection now fills each option the selection leaves unset from
the model's catalog descriptor default, with Fast sent as off. The adapter
passes its catalog at agent open and on every run. Models missing from the
catalog keep sending only their explicit options.
Fixes#28713
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Thread titles and commit or PR text built through Cursor sent a bare
model id, which Cursor Plus rejects the same way it rejects chat runs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Cursor runs now send catalog-derived values for unspecified model parameters and explicitly disable Fast mode unless selected. Human review is required to confirm these effective default choices for existing runs.

Walkthrough
Cursor model selection now fills omitted options from the selected model’s catalog descriptors. The adapter and text-generation paths pass the current catalog to model selection. Tests cover default and explicit options, uncatalogued models, and the catalog-default context parameter.
Changes: Cursor model catalog defaults
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Derive and verify model defaults packages/provider-cursor/src/server/sdkModel.ts, packages/provider-cursor/src/server/sdkModel.test.ts
cursorSdkModelSelection combines explicit options with eligible defaults from the selected catalog model. Tests cover default and explicit option values and an uncatalogued model.
Pass catalog models to selection packages/provider-cursor/src/server/adapter.ts, packages/provider-cursor/src/server/textGeneration.ts, packages/provider-cursor/src/server/driver.ts, packages/provider-cursor/src/server/driver.test.ts
The adapter and text-generation paths pass catalog models to model selection. The driver supplies a callback for the current catalog. The driver test expects the catalog-default context: "1m" parameter.
This change sends catalog default parameters on Cursor runs once the model catalog has loaded, which should fix the reported "Model unavailable on Plus" failures. A run sent in the first few seconds after startup, before the catalog loads, can still omit those defaults. The change is mergeable, and that window is a bounded follow-up.

Explanation
The title states the main change: Cursor runs now send the catalog's default model parameters. It follows conventional commit format and matches the changeset, which fills catalog defaults for unset options in cursorSdkModelSelection and passes the catalog through the adapter and text generation. It is 76 characters, so it is concise.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section gives the failure and reproduction steps. The Change section explains the fix and the adapter, driver, and text-generation wiring. The Scope section links issues #16149 and #24386 and explains the triage. The Verification section lists focused test commands, expected and observed results, a runtime transcript, and unverified items. It also names the agent and harness, as the template asks. The Scope section cites a fixed issue, #28713, but the linked issues in the description are at different URLs. This is a minor inconsistency, not a missing section.

Explanation
[#28713, #24386] At head 80068b9, cursorSdkModelSelection in packages/provider-cursor/src/server/sdkModel.ts looks up the selected model in the catalog and adds a default for each advertised descriptor the selection leaves unset. Explicit options are kept and win. Unset fastMode is sent as false. The adapter passes its catalog (getModels) at agent creation and on each send, so the first run.start in a new chat carries the fixed parameters. The PR description reports a runtime transcript where agent.create and run.start both carry fast=false and effort=high. [#16149] The same function serves composer, delegate_task, and thread launch paths. Unset contextWindow maps to Cursor context through getProviderOptionCurrentValue, so catalog defaults such as 1m are sent when options are absent. The driver passes the catalog to Cursor text generation. Unit tests cover catalog defaults, explicit overrides, and models absent from the catalog. Real Cursor Plus acceptance is not verified in the PR. Later comments report separate Plus results, which this assessment does not rely on. The coding requirements are supported by the implementation and tests.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR summary (merge base f313d0a to head 80068b9) changes only provider-cursor files: adapter.ts, driver.ts, sdkModel.ts, textGeneration.ts, and their tests. Each production change passes the catalog into the existing Cursor model selection path, which is required for #28713, #16149, and #24386. The test change in driver.test.ts updates an expectation to the new catalog-default behavior. No unrelated behavior change appears in the reviewed evidence. The earlier pipeline-related comments concern process, not code, and do not add code changes.

Do not silently start an option-free run before the catalog is ready.
catalogModels starts empty, and the managed provider forks its initial refresh instead of awaiting it. The existing test reaches ensureThread and startTurn while that refresh is pending, but its explicit "1m" option hides the empty-catalog case. With no explicit options, cursorSdkModelSelection(..., []) omits params, so agent.create can lack required catalog parameters.
startTurn resolves the model again before run.start, so a refresh between agent.create and run.start can repair the first run. The unrepairable case occurs only when the catalog is still empty at run.start. Gate the first agent/run on catalog readiness or return a retryable error, and add an option-free pre-refresh case that checks both agent.create and run.start.

Not changing this here. A run sent before the first catalog load goes out exactly as it does on main today, so this PR doesn't regress it: it fixes every run after the catalog is loaded, which is the reported case (a new chat, sent long after startup). The catalog loads on the provider's first check at startup, and a later refresh that fails keeps the last catalog (driver.test.ts, retainedDefault). Holding runs until that check finishes, or failing them with a retryable error, would add a readiness gate to every Cursor turn for a window of a few seconds. That's a separate change if it shows up in practice.

Rate Limit Exceeded
@juliusmarminge have exceeded the limit for the number of chat messages per hour. Please wait 52 minutes and 20 seconds before sending another message.
The account's models.list() returns 4 models, each with one value per parameter, so the catalog defaults this PR sends are exactly what Plus accepts.
In 0.1.6 itself: a delegate_task to cursor/grok-4.7 with those 3 options finished. An untouched thread sent bare {id: "grok-4.7"} and {id: "grok-4.6"} and failed 4 of 4 runs.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:
the capture step could not show the problem on the base commit, so there is nothing to prove fixed.
On both commits, add Cursor using the injected API key and wait for its live catalog. Set Settings > Threads > Model to the reported catalog model. Create a new thread in the synthetic Catalog defaults project, leave composer model and option pickers untouched, and send 'Reply with OK only. Do not use tools.' Both completed with OK. Separate real-server CLI runs with no explicit model options also completed successfully on both commits.
Evidence: In fresh isolated web clients, select Cursor Grok 4.7 in Settings > Threads, create a new thread, leave model/traits untouched, and send Reply with OK only. Both display 500K · High and reply OK. Inspect Cursor's persisted run and checkpoint: base omits context/effort and uses 256,000 tokens; head sends context=500k and reasoning_effort=high and uses 500,000 tokens. Linux Chromium, 1280×633, light theme, live Cursor catalog. Images append explicitly labelled runtime inspection beneath unmodified app screenshots.
This proves the catalog-context mismatch on the reported Grok selection. The fixed-settings rejection did not reproduce; 1M acceptance and delegated runs remain unverified.
Not shown:
Cursor Plus fixed-settings rejection: untouched Grok 4.7 completed with OK on both commits; the injected account's subscription tier was not independently established.
The exact 1M context case: gpt-5.6-luna advertises a 1m default but both real runs were rejected with 'GPT-5.6 Luna is not included in your weekly usage Buy credits or switch to a Grok model to continue.' The demonstrated context difference is Grok 4.7 at 256K versus its advertised 500K.
Delegated runs with only effort specified, subsequent turns, and text-generation paths were not exercised.

Problem
The Cursor provider sends only the model options a selection carries explicitly. A chat whose model comes from Settings' default,
delegate_taskwithout options, scheduled tasks, mobile, and Cursor text generation all reach Cursor with some or all parameters missing. Cursor Plus rejects those runs with "Model unavailable on Plus … with fixed settings". The reporter's first run on a new chat sent{"model":{"id":"grok-4.5"}}and failed. Later runs that carriedparamssucceeded.Reproduced on main 1d626d0 with the web dev server and the real Cursor SDK 1.0.38 (API key, not a Plus account). With Settings' default set to Cursor Grok 4.5, a new thread sent its first prompt without anyone opening the picker. The composer showed "Grok 4.5 High", but
run.startcarried onlyfast=false.Change
cursorSdkModelSelectionnow takes the provider's catalog. For every parameter the model advertises and the selection leaves unset, it sends the catalog default, which is the value the picker shows. Options the selection carries still win. An unset Fast is sent as off, matching the web composer's existing rule (withImplicitFastModeDefault). Models missing from the catalog send only their explicit options, as before.The adapter passes its catalog (
getModels) at agent open and on every send. The driver passes the same catalog to Cursor text generation.Scope and approval
