Subject: [PATCH] fix(cursor): verify Cursor installation on Linux before
 auto-import

On Linux, verify that Cursor IDE is actually installed before importing
tokens. Previously, leftover config files from a removed Cursor installation
would trigger a false positive, creating a phantom Cursor provider connection.

The check uses `which cursor` and falls back to checking for a .desktop file
in ~/.local/share/applications/

Fixes #313
