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.
