Cursor errors / Other

Codebase indexing failed

platform: Cursor / category: Other

Cause

Background indexing cannot complete due to an oversized repo, a network/TLS failure, low disk space, or a corrupted local index cache.

Fix

Add large generated dirs (node_modules, dist, .git) to a .cursorignore. Ensure 5+ GB free disk. Run 'Cursor: Reindex Codebase' from the Command Palette. If it persists, close Cursor, delete the index cache (macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage; Windows %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage), and reopen.
