Grok Build Src 02d9359435d0

b41c75a578f9→02d9359435d0·July 27, 2026 at 7:03 PM UTC

Tree sync b41c75a578f9 → 02d9359435d0 (still 0.2.112): sandbox profiles now keep the agent in-process by refusing shared leader mode, with matching docs and a new subagent depth env var.

Changelog

  • [changed] When a non-off sandbox profile is requested (CLI, GROK_SANDBOX, config, or managed policy), the agent runs in-process and refuses shared leader mode so tool calls are not delegated elsewhere. Startup prints a one-line note if leader would otherwise have been on.
  • [changed] If a built-in sandbox profile fails to apply, Grok still refuses the leader (tools stay local), warns, and continues without enforcement per platform support.
  • [changed] With a non-off sandbox profile requested, grok workspace start, restart, and resume are unavailable; pause, stop, and status still work. Disable the profile at its source to use the refused commands.
  • [new] GROK_SUBAGENTS_MAX_DEPTH controls maximum subagent nesting depth.

Agent & tools

  • Leader mode (--leader / --no-leader) is incompatible with an active non-off sandbox profile; sandbox enforcement keeps tools in the local process.
  • Workspace lifecycle commands that need a shared leader path are gated while sandbox is requested.

Docs

  • Sandbox guide: documents in-process behavior under a requested sandbox profile, leader refusal, failed-profile warning path, and which workspace commands remain available.
  • Agent mode guide: --leader / --no-leader flag table notes that leader mode is refused when a non-off sandbox profile is requested, with a link to the sandbox guide.

Under the hood

  • Subagent soak coverage moved under the tools crate; added leader sandbox confinement tests and plan-exit batch barrier session tests.
  • Lockfile and version.json point at this tree revision.

Upgrade notes

  • If you rely on shared leader mode, leave the sandbox profile off (or unset the source that selects it). A requested non-off profile forces local in-process tools.
  • Optional: set GROK_SUBAGENTS_MAX_DEPTH when you need an explicit cap on subagent nesting.
