Add Cursor Cloud Agent environment for PR babysitting (#10128 )

* Add a Linux Cursor Cloud Agent environment for PR babysitting.

This gives cloud agents Node, GitHub CLI, and the same lint/tsc/Jest install path as PR CI, without Android or iOS native tooling.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* Document Cloud Agent babysitter smoke checks from live validation.

Add the Ubuntu CI commands this VM can actually run, note gh/i18n footguns, and ship an optional smoke script for the next environment round.

Cloud Agent — PR babysitter

This VM is Linux-only and exists to watch and unstick pull requests. It can lint, typecheck, run Jest, and drive GitHub checks. It cannot build or run the native iOS/Android apps.

Read CLAUDE.md for repository conventions. Do not try to run simulators, emulators, CocoaPods, Fastlane, Detox, or Maestro here.

What this environment can run

These match the default PR workflow in .github/workflows/ci.yml (Ubuntu):

npm run lint
npm run tsc
npm run check                 # lint + tsc
./scripts/precommit/i18n.sh
npm run test:ci               # local analog of the PR `test` job (that job uses test:ci:coverage)
cd detox && npm run tsc
bash detox/maestro/scripts/validate-flow-headers.sh
cd detox && npm run test:unit # detox JS unit tests, not device E2E

./scripts/precommit/i18n.sh may rewrite non-en.json locale files as a side effect. Discard those diffs — Weblate owns every language file except assets/base/i18n/en.json.

Or: bash .cursor/scripts/cloud-agent-smoke.sh (add --with-jest to include npm run test:ci).

Before pushing a CI fix, run the narrowest command that failed, then npm run check if you touched JS/TS.

If Jest or tsc is killed with OOM, retry with a smaller heap and fewer workers:

NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 npx tsc --noEmit
NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 npx jest --verbose=false --forceExit --workerIdleMemoryLimit=1GB --maxWorkers=2

What this environment cannot run

npm install / npm ci without --ignore-scripts — Solidarity requires ANDROID_HOME and emulator
npm run pod-install, npm run ios, npm run android
npm run build:ios, npm run build:android
Detox / Maestro device tests (npm run e2e:*)
Xcode, CocoaPods, Android SDK, simulators, emulators
actionlint / shellcheck (diagnose workflow YAML from GitHub Actions logs)
Coverage comparison against main artifacts (npm run test:ci:coverage needs GHA cache)

Deps were installed during boot with npm ci --ignore-scripts plus the same follow-up steps as .github/actions/prepare-node-deps. Do not reinstall with a full npm install.

Babysitter loop

Resolve the PR: gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName
Inspect checks: gh pr checks --json name,bucket,state,workflow,link
If checks are pending: gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast
On failure, read the job log (gh run view <id> --log-failed for GitHub Actions) before changing code
Fix only in-scope failures; verify locally with the commands above; git push without --force

gh pr checks without --json exits 8 while any check is pending — that is not an environment failure. Prefer --json and read state. Cursor's gh token is read-only (no merge/comment writes); push fixes with git.

For iOS compile or E2E failures, diagnose from CI logs and push a targeted source fix. Do not attempt to reproduce native builds on this VM. Let GitHub's macos-* / E2E runners be the proof.

Skip flags

Set these as Cloud Agent secrets or env vars to shorten boot:

Flag	Effect
`CLOUD_AGENT_SKIP_NPM_DEPS=1`	Skip root `npm ci` and asset generation
`CLOUD_AGENT_SKIP_DETOX_DEPS=1`	Skip `detox/` `npm ci`
`CLOUD_AGENT_SKIP_HUSKY=1`	Skip wiring git hooks

Secrets

None required. Cursor provides GitHub auth for gh against this repository.
