Grok Build Src 500129c714ad

5da6962e4adb→500129c714ad·July 29, 2026 at 7:04 PM UTC

Open-source tree sync to 0.2.114: new /delete session command, MCP enable/disable from the CLI, SuperGrok Plus gating, default loop recovery, and a round of startup/reliability fixes.

Changelog

  • [new] /delete slash command removes the current session’s history after confirmation (returns to the welcome screen).
  • [new] MCP servers can be toggled from the CLI with grok mcp enable <name> and grok mcp disable <name>.
  • [new] SuperGrok Plus subscription tier is supported in authentication and feature gating.
  • [new] Automatic recovery from repetitive loops in model output is enabled by default.
  • [new] Full plan markdown can be copied to the clipboard with y during plan approval or preview.
  • [fix] Startup no longer crashes when the host machine has no free threads.
  • [fix] Terminal command output is no longer lost or duplicated when the gateway is unreachable.
  • [fix] Invalid MCP server entries in config.toml no longer block startup; problems surface in grok inspect.
  • [fix] SessionEnd hooks run on exit in non-leader TUI and headless sessions.
  • [fix] Paste chips render with the correct background in inline prompts and question inputs, and behave consistently when editing answers in the question view.
  • [fix] Background task status shows elapsed duration only (not absolute timestamps); stuck tray rows after long foreground shell commands are cleared.
  • [fix] Session lists no longer drop real sessions when the remote registry reports an outdated turn count of zero.
  • [fix] /loop stores prompts that include stop conditions so recurring tasks can terminate themselves.
  • [fix] Conda activation (and other sourced scripts that read $@) works with persistent or login-capture shells.
  • [fix] Agent subprocesses and idle inhibitors are cleaned up when the parent CLI process dies unexpectedly.
  • [fix] Plans in minimal mode are no longer truncated; reasoning vs output separation is clearer (including NO_COLOR).
  • [fix] Shared auth files no longer lose credentials across multiple concurrent Grok processes.
  • [fix] Older Alacritty no longer doubles Enter and other keys.
  • [fix] False paywall messages for free-tier and unmatched users are fixed.
  • [fix] Spurious warnings for common auth and config cases are reduced.
  • [changed] Cold start paints the UI immediately while models and settings load in the background.
  • [changed] Large session forks and resumes use less memory and avoid spikes.
  • [changed] Workspace daemon worker threads are capped to avoid thread exhaustion on high-core shared machines.

Agent & tools

  • New slash command: /delete — confirm, wipe the current session history, return home. From /resume, delete another session with d then y.
  • CLI: grok mcp enable / grok mcp disable for named MCP servers.
  • Plan approval/preview: press y to copy the full plan markdown.
  • Docs clarify the live multi-session Agent Dashboard (/dashboard, aliases /agents-dashboard / /sessions, shortcut Ctrl+\) versus /config-agents (definitions/personas) and /resume (on-disk history).

Docs

  • User guide: /delete covered under slash commands and sessions; Agent Dashboard page and keyboard-shortcut tables expanded (navigation, peek/dispatch, search, pin/rename/stop, persistence).
  • shell-README: auth provider commands run via the platform shell (sh -c / cmd /C); Windows note on TOML literal strings so backslashes in auth_provider_command paths are preserved.
  • Changelog sections for 0.2.113 and 0.2.114 added; tree product version is 0.2.114.

Under the hood

  • Crate/package versions advanced to 0.2.114 (xai-grok-shell, pager, version metadata).
  • New /delete slash-command implementation and related session/history integrity coverage.
  • Reliability work around gateway-unreachable command output, MCP config tolerance, hook lifecycle, auth file sharing, and daemon thread limits (as reflected in the fixes above).

Upgrade notes

  • Building from this tree yields 0.2.114. No new hard startup requirements in this sync.
  • If you set a custom auth_provider_command on Windows, use a TOML literal string (single quotes) for paths with backslashes.
