Sanity check needed - Cursor blaming 'anyApi' in client-side codegen for build issues.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, I'm just at my witts end troubleshooting this issue I encountered today. Can anyone tell me if this bug report makes sense, and even better if there's actionable steps to resolve it?

Bug Report: Convex codegen consistently generates
anyApi
anyApi
from
convex/server
convex/server
instead of proper client-side API types

Environment:
- OS: macOS 15.6.1 (darwin 24.6.0)
- Node.js: >=18
- Convex CLI: 1.26.2 (also tested 1.25.0)
- Convex package: 1.26.2 (also tested 1.25.0)
- Project: React Native app with Convex backend

Issue Description:
The

npx convex codegen

npx convex codegen

command consistently generates incorrect API types in

convex/_generated/api.js

convex/_generated/api.js

. Instead of generating proper client-side API types, it generates:

import { anyApi } from "convex/server";

export const api = anyApi;
export const internal = anyApi;

import { anyApi } from "convex/server";

export const api = anyApi;
export const internal = anyApi;

This causes the application to crash because

anyApi

anyApi

from

convex/server

convex/server

is server-side code that cannot be imported in client-side contexts.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Convex project:

npx convex dev --configure new

npx convex dev --configure new

2. Add a simple Convex function with proper validators
3. Run

npx convex codegen

npx convex codegen

4. Check

convex/_generated/api.js

convex/_generated/api.js

Expected Behavior:
The generated

api.js

api.js

should contain proper client-side API types that can be imported and used in client applications.

Actual Behavior:
The generated

api.js

api.js

contains

anyApi

anyApi

imports from

convex/server

convex/server

, which causes runtime crashes when imported in client-side code.
