Grok Build Src 8adf9013a092

c68e39f60462→8adf9013a092·July 16, 2026 at 9:03 PM UTC

Open-source tree sync to product version 0.2.101, with clearer build prerequisites and headless auto-update documentation.

Changelog

  • [changed] Product version is now 0.2.101 (was 0.1.220-alpha.4); internal crates xai-grok-pager, xai-grok-shell, and xai-grok-version match that version.
  • [changed] Build docs now treat DotSlash as a required prerequisite so hermetic tools under bin/ (notably bin/protoc) can download and run; install it and put dotslash on PATH before building.
  • [new] README notes a root SOURCE_REV file that records the full monorepo commit SHA for the code in this tree.
  • [changed] Headless auto-update docs clarify that GROK_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER set to a falsy value (0, false, off, no, or empty, any case) counts as unset; agent SDKs inject GROK_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1 for non-leader agents they spawn, and the stdio agent skips its background update unless it runs from the managed install ($GROK_HOME/bin/grok).

Docs

  • README.md — monorepo SOURCE_REV note; DotSlash install steps; protoc resolution described as going through DotSlash first, then PATH / $PROTOC.
  • user-guide/14-headless-mode.md — GROK_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER falsy-value and SDK isolation behavior.

Under the hood

  • Settings modal view split into a small module (input, render, state, tests) instead of a single file.
  • Some signed managed-config shell tests removed.
  • Cargo.lock package set size unchanged; the four xai-grok-* packages above re-versioned to 0.2.101.

Upgrade notes

  • Install DotSlash and ensure dotslash is on your PATH before building (cargo install dotslash, or a prebuilt package from the DotSlash docs). Without it, hermetic bin/protoc will not run.
  • Toolchain is still pinned by rust-toolchain.toml; macOS and Linux remain the supported build hosts.
