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

Evidence record / cursor

A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the issues that cite it, below.

2026-10-13-cursor-the-full-dated-install-snapshot-reaches-ide-3-24-18-ios-1-13-0-and-sdk-1-0

The full dated install snapshot reaches IDE 3.24.18, iOS 1.13.0 and SDK 1.0.37. The original morning IDE snapshot omitted 3.24.18 later that day, and the mobile notes omitted store version 1.13.0. SDK 1.0.37 remains the current registry release; next still resolves to an old beta. Protocol-repository tags and vendor bridge checksums are not evidence of executable enforcement. The inspected 1.0.37 package also carries typed computer-use events not described in the release notes.

Channel: tagged-release (vendor artifacts, App Store and package releases); docs-only (moving download pointers observed October 14). Half: capability. Date: 2026-10-13 (IDE artifact); 2026-10-06 (Apple release); 2026-10-07 (SDK registries).

Operator consequence: Install the IDE from Cursor’s download page, iOS from Apple’s store, and pin @cursor/sdk@1.0.37 or cursor-sdk==1.0.37 where embedding. Verify the returned version instead of treating the newest note as the newest install. Do not infer that every published safety repair has been runtime tested at these versions.
