Cursor IDE Describe the Bug Main Agent starts as Grok 4.7 High model. It then spawns defined subagents (subagents are defined with model: inherit in .cursor/agents/ folder) to work on delegated tasks. However, when the subagent is spawned: Main Agent shows the Subagent model name as “Grok 4.7 High”. Inside that subagent it says “Auto”. https://cursor.com/dashboard/usage shows sessions charged with “Auto”. Steps to Reproduce Described above. Expected Behavior UI, Usage and spawned Subagents correctly use the configured model to work on the task.
