What's Wrong?
claude code can't read screenshots half the time when used inside cursor:

⏺ Let me first examine the image to see what filter design you'd like:
⏺ Read(/var/folders/wd/gx0b39b956v35c5bgq8gwz5h0000gn/T/cwdpaste-1IzKlw6m.png)
⎿ Error reading file
````
What Should Happen?
claude should be able to access image you just pasted, frontend development is useless without the ability for cluade to see current state of UI.
