fix(cursor): replay the tool result as root text for Auto and guard its envelope echo - #8567
On Cursor Auto (cursor/auto, Cursor wire model default), a client tool call such as a Codex code-mode exec could succeed and then be requested again, with no final answer (#8538). Auto continues a tool turn with a bare resumeAction, and its model-visible prompt (rootPromptMessagesJson) carried no trace of the result. The result was only on turns[], because #2318 had removed the root-text replay for native Auto after Auto pasted the [Tool Result] envelope into chat (#2317).
The reporter ran a controlled four-way comparison: same prompt, account and successful result. Only the variants that put the result into the text history answered. Changing the continuation action alone did not help.
This PR does two things, both under a new predicate, cursorReplaysToolResultInRoot (src/adapters/cursor/discovery.ts). The predicate covers every external-continuation model plus the Auto router (wire default, any routing level, so auto and auto-<level> such as auto-intelligence).
Replay the result for Auto: the tool result is replayed as assistant-role root text with its invocation line, as composer-2.5 already does. Auto still continues with resumeAction.
Two gates deliberately stay on cursorNeedsExternalToolContinuation:
Continuation action selection: Auto keeps resumeAction.
Checkpoint retention: Auto's checkpoint carries pendingToolCalls, readPaths and previousWorkspaceUris, which full replay does not rebuild. Byte pressure that elides the replayed text must not throw that checkpoint away.
Known tradeoff, unchanged from composer-2.5: once a whole-line marker matches mid-stream, the live filter withholds the rest of that turn's text. A reply that opens with the envelope therefore reaches the client empty, and the next turn is reminted.
Other native models, composer-1 and composer-2 for example, are unchanged and keep the result on turns[] only.
Risks not handled in this PR, all follow-ups:
Unbounded replay in long sessions: root pruning, the repetition breaker and the 192-root / 512 KiB budgets apply to external models only. composer-2.5 already runs unpruned, and Auto now joins it. In a long Auto session every tool result is replayed in full. Once carried roots reach the count limit, the checkpoint is abandoned each turn and the full replay grows past 192 roots. The natural follow-up is to extend the existing budget and repetition collapse to every cursorReplaysToolResultInRoot model, composer-2.5 included. That changes the shared pruning path, so it is left out of this fix.
Empty turn on an opening echo: a reply that opens with the envelope ends the turn empty. Only the next turn is reminted, because the same-turn prefix retry is external-only.
Stale comment:protobuf-request.ts near the checkpoint retention check still says native cursor/auto never gets a result root. For Auto the check simply never fires, because its history is not pruned.
Red, then green: new file tests/providers/cursor/cursor-auto-tool-result-replay.test.ts.
With src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts and src/adapters/cursor.ts reverted to dev: 1 pass / 5 fail. The one pass is the predicate table, which lives in discovery.ts. The failures:
auto, default and auto-intelligence continuations carry no result or call id in root replay;
the mid-message envelope is not stripped and the conversation is not rotated;
a reply that starts with the envelope reaches the client.
With the fix: 6 pass / 0 fail. Each case also asserts that the action is still resumeAction.
Earlier red run, before the fix existed: the test file alone, with the predicate import stubbed, gave 0 pass / 5 fail on dev39fd819.
cursor-blob.test.ts: Auto Intelligence now replays root text, and still keeps resumeAction and the paired MCP turn.
cursor-tool-continuation.test.ts: the "native resume models keep tool results on turns[]" case now uses composer-2.
Cursor suite:bun test tests/providers/cursor/ gave 1512 pass / 0 fail (74 files). The adapters, tool-conformance, registry-parity, layout, structure and ratchet suites gave 200 pass, apart from one ratchet failure that a cap-neutral test edit then fixed (138 / 0 after it).
Checks:bun run typecheck (2,424 files, no errors), bun run structure:check and bun run privacy:scan pass. protobuf-request.ts stays at 1988 lines, and cursor-blob.test.ts at its cap.
bun run test:changed against dev2e8f63d selected 2,375 files: 54,050 pass / 255 skip / 37 fail / 3 errors. All failing files are environmental here. local-control-socket, codex-cli-update-*, catalog-omit-disabled-native, codex-composed-acceptance, update-stop-first and cli-codex-cli-update-boundary fail the same way on unmodified dev in this environment. claude-desktop-first-party-guards and update-restart-lease pass when run alone. None import Cursor code paths changed here.
NOT RUN: a live Cursor session, because there is no Cursor account here. Whether Auto now answers after one command, and how often it still echoes, is not measured; the reporter's A/B/C/D comparison is the behavioural evidence. Also not run: full bun run test locally, and macOS/Windows.
Checklist
Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
Docs or release notes were updated when needed. (structure/providers/cursor.md)
Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults. (No auth or credential path; provider wire change only.)
Cursor request encoding now replays tool results as root text for Auto models. The adapter also filters echoed tool-result envelopes for replay-eligible models. External-continuation action selection and prefix retry remain governed by their existing eligibility checks.
The new cursorReplaysToolResultInRoot predicate includes external-continuation models and Auto’s normalized wire ID. Request encoding uses it to replay tool results as root text. Tests check Auto replay and retain separate native-resume behavior.
Adapter echo filtering and test registration src/adapters/cursor.ts, tests/providers/cursor/cursor-auto-tool-result-replay.test.ts, structure/providers/cursor.md, scripts/test-layout/layout-providers.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json
Midstream echo filtering now uses the broader replay predicate when replayed history includes a tool result. Tests cover split and reply-prefix envelopes and conversation ID rotation. Prefix retry remains limited to external-wire models.
Cursor Auto can now return an empty successful reply when the model echoes the tool-result marker, and an echo followed by a tool call can break the later continuation. Both affect the tool-result flow this PR targets. Fix them before merging, or explicitly accept the risk.

Explanation
The PR addresses the active coding requirements in #8538. cursorReplaysToolResultInRoot in src/adapters/cursor/discovery.ts covers default, auto, and routed Auto IDs while preserving external-continuation behavior. src/adapters/cursor/protobuf-request.ts replays the invocation and tool result as root text, while Auto still uses resumeAction and retains its existing checkpoint gate. src/adapters/cursor.ts applies the envelope strip and conversation remint to Auto. tests/providers/cursor/cursor-auto-tool-result-replay.test.ts checks the result, call ID, prompt, action, mid-stream echo, prefix echo, and conversation rotation. The reported focused tests and Cursor suite pass. A live Cursor session was not run, so production Auto completion is not independently measured, but the issue's coding objectives have reviewable implementation and automated coverage.

Thanks for using CodeRabbit! It's free for OSS, and your support helps us grow. If you like it, consider giving us a shout-out.
Value: Cursor Auto, the default Cursor route, stops getting stuck re-running a successful client tool call without ever answering. The reporter's controlled comparison isolates the cause: Auto's model-visible prompt had no trace of the result.
UX change: after a tool call, Auto turns now carry the result as text in the prompt, the way composer-2.5 already does. If Auto pastes the [Tool Result] envelope back (the [Bug]: Cursor Auto Intelligence echoes [Tool Result] as assistant chat after native tool calls #2317 symptom), the same guard that protects composer-2.5 keeps it from the client and starts the next turn in a fresh Cursor conversation. When a reply opens with the envelope, that turn reaches the client empty. Other native models (composer-1, composer-2) are unchanged.
Regression risk for existing users: moderate, and limited to Cursor Auto. The change reverses the fix(cursor): stop native Auto from echoing [Tool Result] as chat #2318 omission. The echo it caused is now caught at the output boundary, but it is not prevented, so an echoing turn costs one remint. Continuation action and checkpoint retention are unchanged, so Auto keeps its server-side checkpoint state. Request size grows by the replayed result text, within the existing envelope and pruning bounds. Not measured live (no Cursor account here).

Defer Auto remint while a client tool call is pending.
If Auto echoes an envelope and then emits a client tool call, src/adapters/cursor.ts:673-680 rotates the conversation before the client returns the result. The next request uses resumeAction on the fresh conversation, but full replay does not reconstruct pendingToolCalls. The continuation can therefore lose the pending tool state.
Keep the echo filter active, but defer the remint until the pending tool continuation is complete. Add a regression test for an echo followed by a tool call and its result.

Do not complete an Auto turn after suppressing its entire answer.
When an Auto reply starts with an unfenced [Tool Result] line, the filter discards that line and all following text. If there is no client tool call, src/adapters/cursor.ts:472-506 still emits done. With the default Responses settings, the client can receive an empty successful completion. The later conversation remint cannot recover the current answer.
Track client-visible text after filtering. If an echo suppresses the entire answer and no client tool call provides a continuation, emit an incomplete or error outcome instead of done, while preserving the remint. Do not retry Auto unless its native continuation semantics permit it. Update tests/providers/cursor/cursor-auto-tool-result-replay.test.ts:113-143 to assert the terminal outcome as well as envelope suppression.

Summary
On Cursor Auto (
cursor/auto, Cursor wire modeldefault), a client tool call such as a Codex code-modeexeccould succeed and then be requested again, with no final answer (#8538). Auto continues a tool turn with a bareresumeAction, and its model-visible prompt (rootPromptMessagesJson) carried no trace of the result. The result was only onturns[], because #2318 had removed the root-text replay for native Auto after Auto pasted the[Tool Result]envelope into chat (#2317).The reporter ran a controlled four-way comparison: same prompt, account and successful result. Only the variants that put the result into the text history answered. Changing the continuation action alone did not help.
This PR does two things, both under a new predicate,
