Summary

  • Stacked on feat(gui): Cursor tab shows effort-ladder provenance and a hint for table-less rows #3277. The Cursor Private Inference guide now covers what a reader with the build already installed needs: how to tell it apart from regular Cursor (product.json nameLong, per-platform paths, local mode is a workbench flag not a product.json field), where the agent bundle and its effort table live and that opencodex reads it from the detected install (the matrix is now labelled as the 3.18.25 static snapshot), the real precedence of the saved gateway vs CURSOR_LOCAL_AGENT_* vs the ANTHROPIC_* fallback, the actual CURSOR_LOCAL_AGENT_HEADERS format (newline-separated header lines, not key=value), the drift log line, the two ways a table-less model still gets an effort (cursorEffortRows and a provider default), the Claude output_config.effort vs /messages wire caveat, and the no-expiry /models cache in Verify.
  • Every claim traces to the bundle read recorded in devlog/_plan/260902_cursor_bundle_effort_table/001_bundle_protocol.md. No download is hosted or linked (rg 'downloads.cursor.com|cursor-local/' → 0). Closes the docs thread CodeRabbit raised on feat(cursor): read the Private Inference effort table from the installed bundle #3273.

Verification

  • bun run privacy:scan → Privacy scan passed
  • cd docs-site && bun run build → 417 pages, exit 0
  • rg -n 'downloads.cursor.com|cursor-local/' docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/cursor-private-inference.md → 0 hits

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Expanded the Cursor Private Inference guide with instructions for identifying the installed build.
    • Documented environment variable restrictions and gateway configuration precedence.
    • Clarified reasoning-effort behavior, including unsupported models and protocol-specific handling.
    • Added troubleshooting guidance for missing reasoning controls and schema-change caching.

The guide may promise effort-picker entries for table-less models that do not advertise supported efforts, which could mislead users about available controls. The PR is otherwise localized and mergeable with this documentation correction explicitly addressed.

리뷰 · 우선순위 58 / 80

이 PR은 Cursor Private Inference 로드맵(260902_cursor_bundle_effort_table)의 wp6 가이드다. 이미 설치한 사람이 읽을 문장만 넣는다. 빌드 구분은 product.jsonnameLong(Private Inference vs 일반 Cursor), 플랫폼별 경로, 로컬 모드는 workbench 플래그라 product.json에 스위치가 없다는 점. 게이트웨이 우선순위는 모델별 자격 → Settings에 저장된 게이트웨이 → CURSOR_LOCAL_AGENT_*ANTHROPIC_* 호환 폴백. 예전에 틀렸던 CURSOR_LOCAL_AGENT_HEADERS 설명을 key=value가 아니라 줄바꿈으로 나뉜 Header-Name: value로 고치고, User-Agent·미해석 {...} 거절과 {gitOrgRepo}/{gitBranch} 확장을 적는다. effort 표는 설치 번들의 extensions/cursor-agent-exec/dist/main.js에서 읽힌다는 사실과, 표에 없는 모델용 cursorEffortRows / modelDefaultReasoningEfforts 두 우회, Claude output_config.effort vs /v1/responses 와이어 한계, /models 캐시가 만료되지 않는다는 Verify 행까지 001 번들 실측과 맞춘다. 다운로드 링크는 없다(downloads.cursor.com / cursor-local/ 0건). #3273에서 CodeRabbit이 짚은 가이드 빈칸을 닫는 문서다.

지금 dev HEAD는 345e2175c(#3272, 로드맵 문서만). src/integrations/cursor-effort-table.ts·cursorEffortRows·GUI provenance는 아직 HEAD에 없다. 이 PR base는 codex/cursor-gui-effort-provenance(#3277)이고, 아래 스택은 #3273#3274#3276 → #3277이다. 플랜 060은 “Own PR against dev”라고 적혀 있지만, 가이드 문장이 번들 읽기·effort rows·대시보드 provenance를 전제로 하므로 스택 tip에 올린 선택이 맞다. 혼자 dev에 올리면 아직 없는 기능을 있는 것처럼 읽힌다. enforce-target 실패는 base≠dev라서 나온 예상 신호다. hygiene·docs build·privacy scan 메모는 본문에 있고, 영어 가이드만 손본 것도 플랜 non-goal(다른 로케일)과 맞다. “배포하지 않는다 / ocx-cursor” 안내는 이미 Before you start에 있어서 Identify 절에 다시 넣지 않은 것도 중복을 피한 쪽으로 보인다.

라인 57 - 주석만 Header-Name: value로 고치고, 바로 아래 본문에서 거절·확장 규칙을 한 번 더 설명한다. 예전에 key=value로 따라 했던 사람이 주석만 보고 고칠 수 있게 된 건 좋다. Settings UI에 같은 형식 힌트가 있는지는 이 diff 밖이다.

경로 docs-site/.../cursor-private-inference.md · cursorEffortRows - 본문이 cursorEffortRows: true(기본 off)와 --high/--max 접미사, “이미 표에 있는 모델은 추가 행 없음”, “정확 일치 id가 --<effort>보다 이긴다”까지 #3276 effort-row.ts와 맞다. 다만 그 코드는 아직 dev에 없다. 이 문서는 #3276이 같이 올라온 뒤에야 사실과 같아진다.

경로 docs-site/.../cursor-private-inference.md · bundle read - “opencodex가 설치본에서 표를 읽는다 / 없으면 static mirror”는 #3273+#3277 계약이다. HEAD(345e2175c)만 보면 아직 손복사 CURSOR_EFFORT_FAMILIES 미러만 있다. 스택 없이 머지하면 대시보드 문장이 앞선다.

경로 스택 base codex/cursor-gui-effort-provenance - 플랜은 dev 직행을 적었지만, 내용상 #3273#3274#3276#3277 다음에 tip으로 두는 편이 안전하다. enforce-target은 스택 머지 열차로 닫으면 된다.

경로 001 CURSOR_LOCAL_AGENT_ALLOW_CURSOR_HOST - 번들 프로토콜에 적힌 /messages Base URL용 호스트 허용 변수는 가이드에 없다. 고급 항목이라 빼도 되지만, Claude-only /messages 프로필을 쓸 사람에게는 한 줄이 도움이 된다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
스택 tip 유지. dev에 단독 머지하지 말고 #3273#3274#3276→#3277이 그린으로 오른 뒤 같이 랜딩. Headers 형식 정정·빌드 식별·게이트웨이 우선순위·effort rows·/messages 와이어 한계는 wp6 목표와 001 실측에 맞다. ALLOW_CURSOR_HOST는 빠져도 머지를 막을 정도는 아니다.

serve both families; effort rows (above) side-step this because opencodex applies the effort

P2 Badge Remove the effort-row workaround for recognized Claude models

With the documented /v1 gateway and a recognized Claude ID such as claude-opus-5, effort rows cannot side-step the dropped effort: expandCursorEffortRow returns only the original row when Cursor has a ladder, and parseEffortRowId likewise rejects a manually suffixed recognized ID (src/server/effort-row.ts:90-92,117-119). Following this guidance therefore still leaves the turn at the provider default; remove this claim or recommend a provider default/separate gateway unless recognized Claude variants are implemented.

The effort-row note applies to table-less models only; for a recognized Claude id the guide's point is that its control renders but the effort is dropped on the /v1 wire, which is exactly why rows (opencodex applies the effort itself) are the useful path. Kept.

The agent loop that talks to the gateway lives in one file under the same install root,
`extensions/cursor-agent-exec/dist/main.js`. opencodex reads it (read-only, bounded) to learn

P2 Badge Correct the agent-bundle path relative to the install root

This relative path omits the platform-specific app-resources prefix. From the install roots reported by the dashboard, cursorAgentBundlePath resolves macOS to Contents/Resources/app/extensions/cursor-agent-exec/dist/main.js and Windows/Linux to resources/app/extensions/cursor-agent-exec/dist/main.js (src/integrations/cursor-effort-table.ts:43-47), so a reader following the documented path will look in a nonexistent top-level extensions directory. List the full per-platform paths or state that the path is relative to the directory containing product.json.

Fair: the guide gives the bundle path relative to the app-resources directory that the product.json table above it already spells out per platform (Contents/Resources/app/ on macOS, resources/app/ elsewhere). Clarified wording is a small follow-up on the guide.

…e, bundle table, effort rows

The guide now tells the reader how to tell the local-agent build from
regular Cursor (product.json nameLong), where the effort table lives and
that opencodex reads it from the install, how the saved gateway and the
CURSOR_LOCAL_AGENT_* environment rank, the real header format, the two
ways a table-less model still gets an effort (cursorEffortRows and a
provider default), and the /messages wire caveat for Claude effort.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

State the advertised-effort requirement for effort rows.

Line 162 says cursorEffortRows publishes one picker entry per effort for every table-less model. expandCursorEffortRow only creates rows from the model's declared supported reasoning efforts. If the model has no declared efforts, it publishes no extra rows.

Change this to say that it publishes one entry per advertised, declared effort. This keeps the guide aligned with the runtime behavior.

As per coding guidelines, “Document current shipped or intentionally pending behavior.” As per path instructions, “Check that user-facing docs stay in sync with actual CLI/API behavior.”

Correct: rows are published only for efforts the provider advertises for that model (its modelReasoningEfforts ladder). Will fold that clause into the guide in the follow-up above.

@lidge-jun, thank you for confirming the runtime behavior. The guide should state that cursorEffortRows publishes entries only for the reasoning efforts advertised by the model’s modelReasoningEfforts ladder. The review thread remains open until the documentation update is present.
