v1.0.0

Initial release of Cursor Chat Transit.

Chat transfer

• Export selected chats or a workspace's chat history to a ZIP archive and import it into another workspace or device.
• Include supported messages, conversation state, images, plan files, and canvases.
• Process large archives with bounded JSON records, streamed NDJSON parts, byte-bounded dependency reads, and binary resource files.
• Read independent archive metadata and checksums with bounded concurrency while preserving deterministic inventory order.
• Preserve existing conversations, recognize repeated imports, and create separate copies of changed snapshots.
• Restore deleted imported chats as independent copies when their recorded state can be verified.
• Recover usable history from incomplete exports with an explicit per-import review.

Workspace and chat selection

• Manage chats in a persistent native view with workspace and chat search, checkboxes with consistent deletion scope across row and toolbar actions, selection controls, data checks and bulk history deletion with explicit confirmation and a Quit Cursor action afterward.

• Search workspace names, paths, and chat titles across collapsed manager rows without reading message bodies.

• Use the same workspace and chat ordering in the manager and transfer pickers.

• Keep workspace and chat pickers open when switching windows; retain explicit cancellation.

• Index global chat headers once per scan, group selected checks by workspace, and batch deletion requests while retaining indexed record lookups.

• Toggle empty or unavailable workspace visibility without repeating the scan.

• Preserve available text in ZIP exports, with labelled preview fragments and gaps controlled by the default-on Export: Recover Text setting; review incomplete history before importing.

• Group workspaces by location, with the current workspace first, and distinguish local, SSH, WSL, and container projects.

• List titled chats by recent activity, followed by untitled chats.

• Count titled and untitled chats per workspace on demand, with explicit storage bindings taking priority over reused project paths.

• Show user-message counts and detected legacy or Agent formats for individual chats.

• Run statistics in a cancellable background process while keeping search, selection, and navigation available.

• Prepare the workspace list automatically using lightweight history checks and short read views; keep the current workspace visible and provide a one-click action to show empty destinations.

• Select nonempty chats that pass source-data checks for messages and supported resources; preserve manual selection changes during analysis.

• Present a transparent blue-to-teal extension mark and consistent monochrome command icons.

Operations and diagnostics

• Show transfer stages, elapsed time, and remaining-time estimates for measurable work; retain a final total synchronized with the operation log.
• Keep recent results compact with expandable per-chat details.
• Write timestamped operation logs with concrete file paths, chat identity, byte counts, exact durations with human-readable equivalents, and error codes.
• Provide a copyable diagnostic report and a guarded action for clearing stale transfer locks.
• Offer Cursor's normal quit action after an import adds chats.
• Release completed operations independently of notification dismissal; retain explicit consent before recovery writes.
• Read exports without copying the full database; prepare imports outside Cursor's database and write bounded batches with journaled recovery and verification.
• Configure local storage paths, SQLite query deadlines, lock waits, and log verbosity.

Development and distribution

• Provide Task and npm commands for setup, checks, packaging, and explicit local release preparation.
• Validate changes with automated tests, cross-platform SQLite checks, and extension-host smoke tests in CI.
• Publish verified VSIX packages and checksums as GitHub Release assets, with no registry publishing.
• Distribute under the MIT license with the required copyright notices.
