cursor agent rewrote Directory.Build.props and nuget ate friday
asked cursor agent to "just bump the serilog packages".
it rewrote Directory.Build.props, deleted Central Package Management, and left 47 PackageReference Version= attributes that don't match what's on nuget.org.
dotnet restore took 11 minutes on a win11 box that usually finishes in 40s. CI failed on NU1102 for Serilog.AspNetCore.
i rolled back. sticky note on the bezel now says "never let agent touch *.props". anyone else deny-listing props/csproj yet?

same energy as when an agent "helped" my docker-compose and pinned every image to :latest.
props files are load-bearing. mine sit in a deny list now — agent can read, not write. saved me twice this month.
demo tip: i path-block Directory.Build.props before any live coding session. one webinar the agent "cleaned up" TargetFrameworks and we lost net8.0 mid-call.
audience loved it. i did not. sticky notes > system prompts for this stuff.
