## What this file is

A downloadable record of a Cursor terminal-only session versus a separately configured first-party shared task. Companions: [aggregate CSV](https://infinisynapse.com/blog-media/cursor-data-analysis/downloads/aggregate-CUR-WEEKLY-PACK-20260822.csv) and [verify script](https://infinisynapse.com/blog-media/cursor-data-analysis/downloads/verify-CUR-WEEKLY-PACK-20260822.py). The CSV contains two observations, not raw, source, customer, or third-party data.

## Six-step method

1. Record Cursor version, settings, rules, permissions, and approvals.
2. Issue a scoped credential without publishing its value.
3. Record first-party CLI and instruction hashes and source permissions.
4. Start a goal and record SQL hints, run ID, timestamps, and status.
5. Record SQL and artifact hashes.
6. Ask a teammate without Cursor to reopen the task; preserve failures and wall clock.

## Source and goal

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | Read-only Postgres replica the desk is authorized to read |
| Goal asked twice | “same ops pack as last week” |
| Contrast | Cursor terminal only vs shared `/tasks` workspace |
| Cursor version/settings/rules/permissions | Not recorded |
| CLI/instruction hash | Not published/not recorded |
| Credential scope | Sanitized summary only; value never published |
| Goal/SQL hints | Goal retained; SQL hints not recorded |
| Run timestamps/status | Summary retained; exact timestamps not recorded |
| SQL/artifact hashes | Not recorded |
| All failures | Not fully preserved |

## Results

| Retrieval state | SQL plan | Markdown memo | Charts | CSV extract |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cursor terminal only | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Shared `/tasks` workspace | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

Wall-clock for the shared-workspace run: 20 minutes (warehouse time excluded).

No independent reproduction was known as of 2026-08-28. Replication should disclose every field above, terminal-only baseline, outputs, failures, wall clock, and conflicts of interest.

## What you may cite

- Artifact counts 1/0/0/0 → 1/1/2/1, ~20 min wall-clock, run ID, teammate audit in `/tasks`

## What you may not claim

- Customer case, benchmark, third-party dataset, Cursor test, certification, media evaluation, endorsement, or raw/source data
