Cursor IDE panel opens automatically when Claude Code runs in separate terminal

Description

When running Claude Code CLI in a separate terminal (iTerm2), Cursor IDE's bottom panel automatically opens without any explicit user action. This appears to happen when Claude Code interacts with files in the Cursor workspace.

Environment

• Claude Code CLI running in iTerm2 (external to Cursor)
• Cursor IDE with the workspace open
• macOS

Behavior

• The panel opens (toggles visible), but does not create a new terminal instance
• The user has ruled out keybinding conflicts (removed custom cmd+j and ctrl+' bindings for workbench.action.togglePanel)
• Issue persists even after removing all custom terminal-related keybindings

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a project in Cursor IDE
2. Open Claude Code CLI in a separate terminal (e.g., iTerm2)
3. Use Claude Code to interact with files in the Cursor workspace
4. Observe that Cursor's bottom panel opens automatically

Expected Behavior

Cursor's panel should not open unless explicitly triggered by the user.

Additional Context

The user initially suspected keybinding conflicts but has since ruled that out. The issue appears to be related to how Claude Code interacts with Cursor, possibly through file system events or some other integration mechanism.
