What this state means
Supported, with the qualification kept attached.
Cursor has primary evidence for terminal access on the reviewed product surface. Plan and platform availability may still change.
Capability definition
Can run shell commands in a local, remote, or sandboxed command-line environment.
Scope boundary
The record must identify the execution surface; a cloud sandbox is not local-machine shell access.
Evidence
