Summary

The Inbox connects Cursor through MCP, but plannotator inbox --notes cursor rejects it and the note offer excludes it.

This adds the manual-copy fallback requested in #1991. Cursor documents global User Rules in Settings → Rules, but does not document a supported file path for writing them.

  • Accept cursor in inbox --notes and print the note with paste instructions.
  • Offer selectable note text in the Inbox dialog and Settings → Agents.
  • Explain that Plannotator cannot detect, update, or remove a manually pasted rule.
  • Keep manual-copy outcomes separate from managed-note writes, including mixed selections and failures.
  • Update CLI help and Inbox documentation.

No Cursor rule file is created, and manual copies are never marked as installed.

Closes #1991.

Verification

Passed with Bun 1.3.14:

  • Focused note/server/CLI/help checks: 78 tests.
  • Focused Inbox DOM checks: 21 tests.
  • Chromium e2e covering the Cursor offer, manual-copy result, and Settings workflow.
  • Compiled CLI probes covering Cursor output, notes disabled, and mixed manual/managed failure.
  • bun run typecheck
  • bun run build:review && bun run build:hook
  • CLI compilation and git diff --check.

Limitations

The full suites were not green. All ten previously failing unit cases passed individually on both this patch and untouched df203ea9 with matched test environments. Two remaining Chromium failures, image zoom-stage lookup and Arabic text alignment, also reproduced on that base.

WebKit verification remains blocked by missing host libraries. Full suites were not rerun after these targeted comparisons.

fix: honest wording for Cursor's copy-by-hand Inbox note (follow-up to #2153)

- Cursor's copy box never shows the marker lines, alone or beside other agents.
- The primary names only agents a note is written for; Cursor's row reads
  'Copy by hand'; Cursor alone is worded as a copy, not an add.
- plannotator inbox --notes cursor (and the dialog's answer) refuse Cursor
  when it is not on this computer, like every other agent.
- Cursor's rules place is Customize → Rules; CLAUDE.md documents the note.
