Why was version 2.1.313 silently deleted from OpenVSX, Visual Studio Marketplace and Cursor then?

Dworken from Anthropic here, 2.1.313 was never published on OpenVSX, the VS Code marketplace, or on any of our official hosts. The malicious actor here had published a fake version of this extension on Cursor's marketplace. In order to disambiguate, we made sure our next update was 2.1.314.

I'm guessing it was the easiest quick workaround available, but obv wait for official confirmation.

Reads like Cursor's extension marketplace got compromised, hence how the OpenVSX and MS marketplaces can be unaffected.
