Bitter Frontier What coding agents just made possible, where the bottleneck moved, and what deserves attention.

2026-10-13-cursor-origin-api-clients-need-new-stack-parent-fields-and-public-bypass-user-ids

Origin API clients need new stack-parent fields and public bypass-user IDs. Origin’s create-PR API rejects the old parentPullNumber field instead of silently dropping stack structure. Integrations must send parentPullRequest with a number member. Ruleset bypass actors move from numeric Cursor user IDs to public user IDs; the dated follow-up rejects the old form.

Channel: docs-only (hosted API labeled Early Beta). Half: defect. Date: 2026-09-22; 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-03 dated API notes.

Operator consequence: Migrate request schemas and stored bypass identities, then check the resulting stack and ruleset. Treat this API’s Early Beta label as a compatibility cost. Other daily API changes lack the historical pins requested by the crosscheck and remain leads, not accepted release facts.
