Cursor ships Auto-review run mode for reduced-approval agent execution

Cursor adds Auto-review, a new run mode that lets the agent run longer with fewer approval prompts. Allowlisted and sandboxable calls run immediately; other actions go to a classifier subagent that decides whether to allow, try a different approach, or ask for approval. Configurable in settings with optional custom classifier instructions.
