Env vars exported to one shell's rc file can be invisible to the shell Cursor actually launches with, silently preventing Agent Guard from activating. Point users at checking that mismatch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds a one-line troubleshooting note to
README.md: if Agent Guard isn'tactivating, make sure environment variables are defined in the same shell
your IDE launches with.
Why
Confirmed on a real setup: env vars were correctly exported to
~/.zshrc,but Cursor launches hooks/agent commands under bash by default on that
machine, so neither the
sessionStarthook nor the agent's shell commandsever saw them — despite the vars working fine in the user's own terminal.
This is a documentation-only fix pointing users at that mismatch rather
than a code change.
