Description of the problem
Cursor changed their vscode extensions provider to OpenVSX recently, and the Codesandbox extension has not been added to that provider, so when you click on Open in Cursor in a devbox, cursor opens, but the process fails because the extension cannot be found on OpenVSX. Users have to install the extension manually via a .vsix file.
To Reproduce
Click on Open in Cursor button in a Devbox.
