cursor: read chats dir

Error message

cursor: read chats dir %s: %w

What it means

Wraps a failed os.ReadDir of a Cursor chats directory during session listing. Missing directories are skipped; this error fires only on other IO failures such as permission denial while scanning one of the known chats locations for the workspace.

Solutions

1. Fix read permissions on the Cursor chats directories
2. Check for filesystem errors on the affected path
3. Retry /sessions after repair
