The Cursor bridge command watcher is the preferred path for Cursor delivery when it is installed and active.
Cursor integration is sensitive because AxiOwl is targeting a provider surface that was not originally designed as a stable public API for this exact workflow. The bridge gives AxiOwl a controlled local path. AxiOwl writes a command, the Cursor bridge sees it, and the bridge performs the submit behavior from inside the Cursor environment.
This is better than using URI wake-up as the normal path. URI wake-up can be useful as a fallback to activate the bridge, but it can also create false extension warnings or route through brittle app-launch behavior. When the watcher is already installed and active, command-file delivery should be primary.
The command watcher also gives AxiOwl evidence. It can write result files or registry events that show the bridge received the command, started dispatch, or accepted provider delivery.
That evidence is critical because Cursor failures can be severe. Bad patch state can affect startup. AxiOwl needs clear proof before declaring a Cursor integration healthy.
The installer should install the bridge, configure MCP, apply the needed patch, run discovery, and preserve rollback safety. It should close Cursor only when selected work requires it.
Cursor support is not "click into a window and type." It is bridge-based delivery with command watcher evidence and a carefully bounded fallback.
The watcher is the normal path because it is quieter, more explicit, and easier to diagnose.
