Research direction
Start by reproducing the Remote-SSH workflow described: connect successfully to the Linux cluster, then select “Open Folder” in the folder explorer using the reported extension and Cursor versions. Inspect the reconnection and loading behavior; done means opening a remote folder completes without an endless loading state. No source file or test is named in the issue.
