Cursor background agent channel overview
Channel between the Cursor IDE and one of its background agents. Used for the long-horizon background-agent workflow where Cursor spawns an agent into a worktree and supervises it asynchronously.

endpoint
brokeringPrimitive
Cursor brokers messages between the IDE foreground and one or more
long-running background agents over a local IPC channel. Each
background agent runs in its own sandboxed worktree and reports
progress events back to the IDE; the IDE relays user messages to
the agent. Brokering is point-to-point (one IDE ↔ one agent) and
persists for the agent's lifetime.
