The Story
The first build on this page run through Cursor’s terminal CLI (cursor-agent v2026.09.10-fd3934a) rather than its IDE background composer, and the first Cursor run to use a single model throughout instead of pinning a different vendor per phase: Meta’s Muse Spark 1.3, a 1M-context model, in Cursor’s “MAX” reasoning mode, for the coordinator and every one of its sub-agents. The brief is the familiar one-shot instruction used across this page, with one addition none of the others spelled out this explicitly: “If you find bugs, you must fix them… In case bugs appear, you must fix them all and restart the review meeting.” — a self-correction loop written directly into the prompt, not left to the agent’s own initiative.
The coordinator took that instruction literally. Six implementer sub-agents ran strictly sequentially, each one starting the instant its predecessor’s summary landed — Database + Models (Agent A) → Foundation/Tenancy/Auth/RBAC (B) → Catalog + Search (C) → Commerce Core (D) → Storefront UI + Customer Accounts (E) → Admin Panel + Analytics (F) — a genuine dependency pipeline rather than the parallel-fan-out pattern seen on most other sub-agent builds here. What follows is the interesting part: an independent verification agent (G) browser-tested the finished app via Playwright MCP and reported 18 bugs; a bugfix agent (H) fixed all 18 and added regression tests; a second verification pass (I) re-checked every fix in a live browser and found 3 remaining FAILs; H was re-spawned for a second bugfix round; and a third and final I pass confirmed everything green before the coordinator wrote its own “Review Meeting” demo-access summary. That is 11 sub-agent spawns across 9 lettered roles (H and I each ran twice) plus the coordinator — 2.6K tool calls in total — and it is a rare case on this page of an agent-driven QA loop that actually iterated on its own findings instead of reporting a single pass/fail verdict.
The result is the largest codebase on this page by class count (295 PHP classes) and, on our own independent 143-test Playwright pass, a strong 93% weighted score (132 pass, 9 fail, 2 partial) with zero critical bugs — no data corruption, no cross-tenant leak, notable given several higher-numbered builds on this exact spec have shipped one or the other. But the defects that did survive two internal bugfix/verification rounds cluster tightly in one place the run’s own G/H/I loop apparently never specifically probed: customer-account click interactions. The Addresses page’s Add/Edit buttons never open their modal <dialog>; the “Log out” button fires zero network requests on most clicks despite a working backend route; and order “View” links silently no-op because Cursor’s own coordinator model appears to mishandle a URL-encoded # in the order-number path when Livewire’s client-side router intercepts the click. All three are real, user-facing, and all three passed the build’s own two rounds of Playwright-driven self-verification untouched.
Net: at an OpenRouter-equivalent $44.92 (Cursor itself bills this as “Included” subscription usage — in the user’s own words, “17% of the monthly token contingent of my Cursor Ultra plan”) and 2h 45m for a from-scratch build with a genuine multi-round self-correction loop, this lands 6th of 19 builds on this page by score — ahead of the prior Cursor run (#16 Grok 4.5, 90.6% weighted for a comparable $41) on both score and cost, and clean of the cross-tenant leak that run repeated. Only #18 Codex Luna scores higher for less money. Our independent QA report has the full detail on the three interaction bugs the run’s own verification missed.

Mission Prompt (verbatim)
Your mission is to implement an entire shop system based on the specifications im specs/*. You must do in one go without stopping. You must use sub-agents! You must test everything via Pest (unit, and functional tests). You must also additional simulate user behaviour using the Playwright MPC and confirm that all acceptance criterias are met. If you find bugs, you must fix them. The result is a perfect shop system. All requirements are perfectly implemented. All acceptance criterias are met, tested and verified by a 2nd agent. Continuously keep track of the progress in specs/progress.md Commit your progress after every relevant iteration with a meaningful message. When implementation is fully done, then make a full review meeting and showcase all features (customer- and admin-side) to me. In case bugs appear, you must fix them all and restart the review meeting. Don't re-use any existing implementation in another branch. Build it from scratch.

Cost & Tool Usage
$44.92 equivalent
Cost & Tool Usage
Cursor bills these requests as “Included” on the subscription plan, so no per-token charge actually applied — the user reports this run consumed 17% of one month’s token allowance on their Cursor Ultra plan. The figure here is the equivalent OpenRouter API cost: “Muse Spark” turned out to be a Meta model family (meta/muse-spark-1.3, 1,048,576-token context, matching the harness’s own “1M Max” branding), priced here at its live OpenRouter rate ($1.25/M input, $4.25/M output, $0.15/M cache read).
Cache reads were 98.7% of all input tokens (245.0M of 248.2M), and they dominate the bill: $36.75 of the $44.92 total. This whole-run figure spans the coordinator plus all 11 sub-agent spawns — a single model throughout, so unlike the three-vendor #16 Grok 4.5 run there is no per-model price mixing here.
Cost Breakdown (coordinator + all 11 sub-agents)
Full Calculation (meta/muse-spark-1.3, OpenRouter rate)
| Category | Tokens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Input (uncached) | 3.3M | $4.07 |
| Cached Input (read) | 245.0M | $36.75 |
| Output | 966.5K | $4.11 |
| Total | $44.92 |
Tool Usage (coordinator - 58 calls)
The 11 sub-agents made 2.5K additional tool calls of their own (mostly Read/Write/StrReplace/Shell). CallDynamicTool is Cursor’s Playwright MCP wrapper, used heavily by the three browser-verification agents (G, and both rounds of I).

Ranked by tool calls. Agent F (admin panel + analytics + webhooks + seeders) did the most implementation work by a wide margin; the verification/bugfix loop (G, H, I) together accounts for nearly as many calls as all six implementers combined.
