Grok Build Src 9fabadea800f

5163763e703c→9fabadea800f·August 16, 2026 at 7:10 PM UTC

Grok Build OSS 1.0.5 — launcher config overrides, safer worktree reclaim, RTL terminal text, clearer tool spinners, and goal-verifier prompt refinements.

Changelog

  • [new] GROK_CONFIG and GROK_CONFIG_PATH let launchers override selected config settings without editing config.toml.
  • [new] Worktrees under ~/.grok/worktrees are automatically reclaimed when safe, with safeguards that never delete a user’s last copy.
  • [new] GROK_FORCE_LOGIN_TEAM_ID lets launchers restrict interactive login to one or more teams.
  • [new] Arabic and Persian text can be reordered correctly in the terminal UI (enable in /settings).
  • [new] Reasoning effort can be supplied when an ACP client opens or resumes a session.
  • [changed] Session titles refresh early and stay stable; /resume shows a recap and last-turn summary when available.
  • [changed] Hook policy blocks report "Turn blocked by a hook" instead of "Turn cancelled by user."
  • [changed] Image and video generation limits how many calls the model can request in one step to avoid overload.
  • [changed] Preparing spinner shows readable labels such as "Writing file…" and "Writing edit…" for common tools.
  • [fix] Tool calls (shell, grep, list_dir) no longer fail for the rest of a session if /dev/null is removed.
  • [fix] Agent skill discovery resolves the user’s home directory correctly on Windows.
  • [fix] MCP tool calls show clearer spinner text instead of the raw wire name while arguments are still arriving.
  • [fix] grok inspect no longer crashes when its output is piped into a command that closes the pipe early.
  • [fix] Minimal mode no longer truncates a still-streaming assistant reply when thinking blocks are interleaved.

Agent & tools

  • [new] Goal-verifier kind lenses for analysis, code-change, and research review paths, plus a dedicated verifier resume prompt for delta re-checks across attempts.
  • [changed] Goal planner, rules, continuation, strategist, summarizer, and verifier prompt templates tightened for clearer contracts, honest-test expectations, and anti-ratchet re-verification behavior.

Docs

  • [changed] Changelog updated for 1.0.5 (tree, commit).

Under the hood

  • Package versions advanced to 1.0.5 (xai-grok-shell, pager, version crates).
  • Memory flush helpers reworked (dedicated flush path and session window helper).
  • Subagent attempt-store codec support added.
  • Additional pager/TUI end-to-end coverage for full-output fold and double-click behavior.
