ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

Cursor 1.6+ sets TERM=dumb for agent terminal - disable starship on dumb?revision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:35 UTC via poll

What do you need?

I noticed that latest beta of Cursor (1.6.x) at least for me now sets TERM=dumb.

This makes starship show error on each command Cursor runs.

I asked it run this:

$ echo "TERM is set to: $TERM" && echo "Testing basic command..." && ls -la /home/cyppe

[ERROR] - (starship::print): Under a 'dumb' terminal (TERM=dumb).
TERM is set to: dumb
Testing basic command...

So maybe we should disable starship when TERM=dumb?

My current workaround in .bashrc is to not load any defaults at all. But I prefer only starship was disabled so agent can access all other defaults, PATH etc..

if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then
    source ~/.local/share/omarchy/default/bash/rc
fi
