- during the automatic compression process, some content in AGENTS.md would be discarded.
- Can be closed, fixed it myself
- Unreadable text compared to others.
- Finish signing in via your browser: token endpoint returned status 403 Forbidden
- Cursor position is incorrect when using CJK characters
- 30k token limit when using API after ChatGPT exhaustion (IDE)
- I have observed that the more `mcp_servers` I configure in `config.toml`, the slower the VSCode extension becomes at performing initial tasks. It seems that each additional MCP causes the extension to delay, is likely to initialize all of them on startup.
