Only five platform packages exist in 1.0.32; bundlers or --omit=optional installs break the lookup.\n\nFix status: documented_behavior\n\nLimitations:\n- Source is the minified dist bundle of @cursor/sdk 1.0.32 on npm (Cursor has no public source repo); the same runtime is presumed shared with the Cursor agent CLI/IDE but that is not verified.\n- Not reproduced in this session.\n\nUnknowns:\n- Whether linux-x64 package works on musl libc.\n\nOther error fragments:\n- Ripgrep path not configured.
