CLI Debug Mode and /btw Support

We've shipped quality-of-life improvements to the Cursor CLI to make working with agents in the terminal more delightful. Debug Mode in CLI Use `/debug` to find root causes and fix tricky bugs that are hard to reproduce or understand. In Debug Mode , Cursor generates hypotheses, adds log statements, and uses runtime information to pinpoint the issue before making a targeted fix. /btw support in CLI Ask a quick side question without derailing the agent's main task. `/btw` allows you to get clarification on the change Cursor is making without stopping the current run. Configuration menu in CLI `/config` opens an interactive settings panel inside the CLI where you can view and change behavior, such as model choices, defaults, runtime preferences, and more. You can also ask Cursor to apply configuration changes for you using the `/update-cli-config` skill. Custom status bars in CLI Customize the status bar using /statusline to surface the session and runtime signals you care about, including current mode, branch, environment, active task hints, or other session metadata.
