 - Fixed the `pi_read` range translation padding the slice it asks for. `piReadPath` composed a plain `:N+K` selector, which the local `read` tool expands by one leading and three trailing context line — so a frame naming offset 5/limit 20 received lines 4-27. Ranged Pi reads now compose `:raw:N+K`; the wire result is an opaque output string, so the line-number gutter `raw` also drops carries nothing the contract needs.
 - Fixed ranged legacy Cursor reads reporting the returned window byte length as the full file size.
+- Updated the Cursor client build advertisement to activate the modern exec-frame protocol handled by this provider.
 - Fixed four Cursor exec frames answering with a result whose oneof was never set. In proto3 that is not an empty result — the server reads it as "the tool ran and produced nothing", indistinguishable from real success. `listMcpResourcesExecResult`, `readMcpResourceExecResult`, `recordScreenResult` and `computerUseResult` now send `ListMcpResourcesSuccess{resources: []}`, `ReadMcpResourceNotFound{uri}`, `RecordScreenFailure` and `ComputerUseError` respectively.
 - The MCP resource frames now answer from the host instead of a fixed verdict. `CursorExecHandlers` gained `listMcpResources`/`readMcpResource`, so a host holding live MCP connections advertises them; the empty catalog and `not_found` above remain the answer when no handler is supplied. A handler that throws surfaces as `ListMcpResourcesError`/`ReadMcpResourceError` rather than collapsing into "none exist", which the model cannot retry. A read carrying `download_path` forwards it and answers with `ReadMcpResourceSuccess.download_path` and no content, which is what that mode means.
 - Fixed Cursor `connect_scm` calls losing their repository and settling on a fabricated verdict. The target rides in the `ConnectScmArgs.target` oneof, so reading a flat `github` property always saw `undefined`; and the authoritative `success`/`error`/`rejected` result only arrives on the completion frame, so answering at the announcement persisted a fixed failure for every call — including the ones the server went on to accept. The block now opens on the start frame and settles from the completion's decoded result.
