Cursor 2.0 added an agent interface that can run up to eight agents on one prompt, isolating them with Git worktrees or remote machines. It also made browser tools and sandboxed terminals generally available, added background planning, and reported 99.9% cloud-agent reliability.

Why it moved the index

Magnitude 57: bounded multi-agent parallelism, browser access, cloud execution, and isolated terminals materially increase the amount of engineering work one operator can delegate. Confidence 72: Cursor's dated primary changelog directly specifies the eight-agent limit and safeguards, while downstream job and recursive-improvement effects remain inferred.
