Fixes #23349
When the Cursor SDK's stall detector fires, it aborts the request and then rejects an internal promise nothing awaits. The server's unhandledRejection guard only knew two Cursor errors, so this AbortError fell through to process.exit(1) and took the whole backend (and every other provider's sessions) down. This is the same pattern as #22897, with a different error.
isCursorStallAbort recognizes an AbortError raised from the SDK's onStall (the SDK is minified, so the error name plus the onStall frame in its stack is the only handle). The guard logs it and keeps the server running. Any other AbortError still exits as before.
CursorSdk.test.ts gains two cases: a stall abort no longer exits, and an AbortError from elsewhere still does. The first fails without the change and passes with it (4/4 pass; lint and format clean).
I did not reproduce a real SDK stall; the trigger is unknown per the issue. The test uses an error shaped like the one in the reported stack. If the SDK changes the frame name, the guard would stop matching and fall back to today's behavior.

Verdict: Approved at ac5dc48
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds a narrowly scoped Cursor SDK stall-abort guard so that this known internal recovery error no longer terminates the server, while unrelated aborts and rejections still do. Regression tests cover both behaviors, and no broader product or infrastructure changes are included.

The Cursor SDK server now recognizes unhandled AbortError rejections with an onStall stack frame. It logs and returns for these rejections. Tests check that other abort errors still reach exit handling.

Explanation
The description explains the problem, the fix, scope, verification results, and known limitations. The linked issue supports the focused change, and the evidence includes specific test results rather than only stating that tests passed.
Explanation
Issue #23349 requires the backend to remain running when the Cursor SDK emits the reported AbortError from onStall. CursorSdk.ts matches the AbortError and onStall stack frame, logs the event, and returns before process.exit(1). Other abort errors retain the existing exit path. CursorSdk.test.ts covers both behaviors.
Explanation
The changes are limited to the Cursor SDK unhandled-rejection guard and focused tests. The production change directly addresses #23349. The tests verify the new exception path and preserve the existing behavior for other abort errors. No unrelated changes are shown.

Match an onStall stack frame, not any stack text.
If an unrelated AbortError has a message containing onStall, this predicate matches it. Node includes the message in the stack’s first line. The handler then suppresses a rejection that should follow the existing exit path. Match an onStall call frame instead, and add a near-miss test for the message case. (nodejs.org)

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @Gourav224
Fixed in the latest push: the pattern now requires an at … onStall call frame, and a near-miss test covers an AbortError whose message mentions onStall.

@Gourav224, verified the fix in the current code. The pattern now requires an onStall call frame. The near-miss test expects exit code 1 when only the error message mentions onStall.
This addresses the finding. I did not run the tests.

Tested this in a real dev server (vp run dev) with the web app open, on main (05b697f, this PR's base) and then on this PR (38250f5).
How I triggered it: a test-only --import preload in the server process. On a signal it raises the rejection the SDK's stall detector raises: an AbortError created inside Is.onStall (the SDK's onStall:()=>{…,N()} in dist/cjs/689.js), rejected from a promise nothing awaits. I couldn't get the real SDK to hit this end to end. Against a fake Cursor backend the stall detector fired and retried, but it didn't crash main either, so this injects the same rejection into the real server instead. The orange/green box is a test overlay showing the server log live.
main: the server prints the DOMException [AbortError] and exits (Failed running 'src/bin.ts'). The app goes to "corex-t3 is reconnecting" and stays there.

This PR: the server logs Cursor SDK aborted a stalled request. The server will keep running. and keeps serving. After that I opened a thread, a new thread, and Settings, and all of them loaded from the server.

Unit test (CursorSdk.test.ts):
keeps the server running when the SDK aborts a stalled request fails (expected [ [ 1 ] ] to deeply equal [], meaning process.exit(1) was called), and the other 4 passLooks good to merge.
The earlier recordings used an injected rejection. This time I ran a real Cursor agent (Composer 2.5) in a dev T3 server, signed in through the SDK, with all Cursor traffic going through a local HTTPS proxy in front of api2.cursor.sh. The proxy kept the SDK on HTTP/2, the same path users are on, and could freeze replies or drop the network on command.
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Freeze replies mid-answer, hold 45s | Stall detector aborted at 34s, SDK retried, answer finished, server up |
| Freeze while a 21s shell command runs | Aborted at 35s, retried, server up |
| Network dead before the run, so the 1.2 MB run upload is blocked by HTTP/2 flow control | Aborted at 30s, retried once the network came back, server up |
| Freeze while a 71s command is still running | Aborted at 35s with the tool still running, retried, server up |
| Network dead for 3 minutes mid-answer | 5 stall aborts in a row, SDK kept retrying with backoff, recovered, server up |
On the PR (38250f5), the mid-answer freeze behaved the same as main: abort at 30s, retry, answer finished.
689.js:1:111536 is exactly the N() context cancel inside this onStall in @cursor/sdk 1.0.35. That is the code I triggered above, so the PR's frame check matches the reported error.process.exit(1) taking down every provider's sessions.Still fine to merge: low risk, a narrow match, and easy to revert.
Unrelated, noticed while testing: on Linux, Cursor in Supervised mode fails to start a turn with Local SDK sandboxing was requested, but sandboxing is not supported in this environment.

Injected-rejection proof on the real Linux backend, with fresh isolated databases and identical drivers. Confirm HTTP 200, inject one unhandled AbortError with an Is.onStall stack, then probe HTTP and process status. The application's sole rejection listener remains intact. Base exits 1; head logs the stall-abort message and subsequently serves HTTP 200 twice. The first post-injection probe failed on both versions. Natural Cursor stalls and concurrent agent sessions were not exercised.
