Setup, packaging, or upgrade
Observed behavior
REA accepts a setup-created Cursor registration as aligned but cannot uninstall it when it is the only entry in
mcpServersand has a trailing comma.uninstall --jsonexits 1 with overall statusfailedand Cursor statusfailed. It restores the original file and leaves REA registered. Default-format uninstall also exits 1 and reportscursor,failed.Removing only the comma preserves the parsed JSONC values and doctor alignment, then the same public uninstall succeeds. The first backup remains unchanged through failure and recovery. No data corruption was observed.
Reproduction
Use the source revision and pinned toolchain below, install locked dependencies with
npm ci, and build withnpm run build:cached. Run this exact executed recipe from the checkout root. It creates disposable homes, constructs each CLI environment from scratch, previews and checks all planned client paths before apply, and uses real setup to establish ownership. It launches no external client and deletes the disposable homes infinally.single-commais the reduced failing case: the only edit after setup is one comma after the sole REA property's value.unrelated-commaadds a theme, nested metadata, unrelated trailing commas, and a comment. The two-entry controls retain an inertexample-otherregistration, which is configuration text and is never launched. The script prints actual outcomes; the failure and control results are below.Expected behavior
REA should remove its owned registration from the accepted JSONC document, report successful removal, and leave valid configuration with unrelated values and documented comments preserved. Cursor's adapter explicitly accepts comments and trailing commas. The installation contract promises owned-registration removal and preservation of other servers and data.
Impact and scope
P2, supported. A bounded supported Cursor configuration shape blocks registration removal and leaves REA registered. Both sole-entry comma fixtures fail, while both sole-entry no-comma controls and both two-entry controls succeed. The observed rollback preserves the original bytes and backup.
A verified workaround is available: remove only the comma immediately after the sole REA property's value. On both failing fixtures, JSONC values remain identical, scoped doctor stays aligned, and uninstall then succeeds while preserving unrelated values, the enriched fixture's comment, and the original backup.
This covers the built source-checkout CLI and REA's Cursor adapter. Native Cursor, installed-release artifacts, other client adapters, and other platforms were not exercised. NOT_ENOUGH_INFO for packaged-release applicability and the first affected release; no release artifact or known-good release was tested.
REA version
Built source checkout at
25c22222abe7a681491bdb4d7316250fdcf32973on current upstream main. The CLI reports 6.5.0; this identifies source-checkout behavior and does not establish behavior of the published 6.5.0 package.Runtime and platform
Node.js v24.18.0; npm 11.16.0; macOS arm64. The runtime was built with the repository's pinned toolchain and locked dependencies. No analysis engine or native Cursor process was launched.
Target and artifact context
Disposable regular
.cursor/mcp.jsonfiles in isolated HOME/XDG/config environments. Realsetup --client cursor --skill=falsecreates the owned registration. The same absolute launcher is used for setup, scoped doctor, and uninstall. No binary target is involved.Interface

Earliest failure stage
Cleanup, cancellation, or lifecycle
Relevant output or evidence
The exact public recipe was executed on the source revision above. Setup returned
readyand scoped doctor returnedalignedwith exit 0 for every case before uninstall. It produced:A separate public lifecycle replay on the same build also exercised default-format uninstall for both failing fixtures. Both exited 1 and reported
cursor,failed. Both JSON-format failure items reported:Both comma-only workaround retries returned exit 0, overall status
complete, and Cursor statusremoved. Assertions checked equal JSONC values before and after the comma edit, continued doctor alignment, preserved unrelated values and comments, and the unchanged first backup. The enclosing diagnostic scripts exited 0 because their checks completed; the failing uninstall child commands exited 1.Typed outcome or recovery expected
Rerun the unchanged sole-entry comma inputs through public uninstall. Require exit 0, successful Cursor removal, valid supported configuration with the owned registration absent, unrelated values preserved, and documented comments retained. Keep the single-entry no-comma and two-entry controls passing, including preservation of the unrelated server and backup. Restoration must accept the original comma-bearing inputs without requiring the workaround. No repaired build was tested.
Analysis or suspected cause
Source-derived: JSONC deletion and serialization defers first-property deletion to
jsonc-parser's stock edit. This is consistent with retaining a trailing comma after deleting the only property, followed by readback rejection and rollback. The public lifecycle failure establishes the defect independently of this explanation. The implementation may choose any deletion or serialization approach that preserves the stated behavior; exact whitespace is not required.Additional context
The current-source replay confirmed the failure after fetching upstream main. The cited Cursor adapter, JSONC serializer, ownership checks, uninstall transaction, and installation contract were unchanged from the independently verified source baseline.
Related reports have different triggers and closure signals: #3862 and #3863 concern Codex per-tool tables during doctor/setup; #3906 concerns switching CLI aliases, while this recipe uses one launcher and remains aligned; #3301 concerns positive uninstall fixtures with unrecognized commands, while this recipe uses real setup; #1164 concerns already-malformed input, while this input is valid before removal; #3308 concerns skill-manifest removal status rather than client JSONC deletion.
@official-rex commented on GitHub (Oct 15, 2026):
I can fix this Cursor uninstall issue. Kindly assign me this task; I look forward to your response.
@morluto commented on GitHub (Oct 16, 2026):
Fixed on
mainin 4fd28fc9e. JSONC unregistration now removes parsed property/separator spans, including a sole trailing-comma member, while retaining unrelated trivia and backups.JSONC regressions cover the reported uninstall case, BOM/CRLF/comments, siblings and idempotent removal.
Hosted main CI is still pending; this closure is based on the implemented fix and the scoped regression evidence.
