Grok Build Src dd04f397b1d0

500129c714ad→dd04f397b1d0·July 30, 2026 at 9:04 PM UTC

Open-source sync to 0.2.116: richer headless streaming-json, /undo as an alias for /rewind, mode-aware slash commands, plus 0.2.115 history/LSP/auth fixes and stronger prompt caching.

Changelog

  • [changed] Headless --output-format streaming-json now includes tool calls, results, and usage (newline-delimited ACP-derived events).
  • [new] Headless --output-format streaming-messages-json with optional --include-partial-messages for Messages-style framing and partial rebuilds.
  • [new] /undo slash command — restores files and chat to an earlier turn; same behavior as /rewind.
  • [changed] Slash commands are hidden or refused in minimal or fullscreen mode according to each command’s declared support.
  • [fix] Chat history corruption that could duplicate tool results or cause later 400 errors after repeated identical tool calls.
  • [fix] Language server crashes (e.g. Roslyn on every edit) and missing C# diagnostics; more reliable diagnostics for other servers.
  • [changed] Improved prompt caching on long conversations, cutting repeated billing on growing transcripts.
  • [fix] Repeated forced re-logins after laptop sleep or network hiccups during token refresh.
  • [fix] Infinite redirect loops in embedded previews when the browser blocks the required cookie.
  • [fix] External auth provider commands (auth_provider_command) on Windows.
  • [fix] Spurious history load warnings on draft conversations that have no server history yet.
  • [fix] Settings enum pickers keep the selected radio on the current value until you press Enter.
  • [fix] Deep-linked settings (e.g. /privacy) close the settings modal on Esc or Enter instead of returning to the list.
  • [fix] Incorrect “Turn cancelled by user” messages on internal send-now wake turns.
  • [changed] Action-stationarity nudge no longer incorrectly claims tool results were identical.
  • [new] grok-4-fast model entry.

Agent & tools

  • /rewind gains alias /undo (documented in sessions and slash-command guides; Esc Esc idle shortcut unchanged).
  • Minimal vs fullscreen command filtering: fullscreen-only (/find, /jump, /timeline, /theme, /tutorial, /workflows, /dashboard) and minimal-only (/expand, /edit-prompt) are omitted from the menu/palette in the wrong mode, with a clear refusal if typed anyway.
  • LSP: new workspaceOpen config (solution or projects) so servers like Roslyn load a real solution/projects instead of miscellaneous files; diagnostics/document/refresh paths tightened.
  • Headless output surface expanded around tool-call and usage events; stopReason values normalized to snake_case ACP/Messages tokens in JSON results.

Docs

  • user-guide/14-headless-mode.md — four output formats, streaming-json / streaming-messages-json event shapes, usage bucket policy (including cache_creation_input_tokens), and --include-partial-messages.
  • user-guide/04-slash-commands.md — /undo alias, render-mode filtering, and clearer minimal/fullscreen wording.
  • user-guide/17-sessions.md — /undo alongside /rewind.
  • shell-README.md — workspaceOpen for language servers that need an explicit solution or project list (with a Roslyn example).

Under the hood

  • New xai-grok-extra-ca crate and GROK_EXTRA_CA_BUNDLE for extra CA material; related env hooks (GROK_AUTH_FORCE_DARK_WAKE, GROK_SKILLS_BASE_URL).
  • Skills client and headless reducer/message paths extended for tool-call, usage, and web-search streaming.
  • Clippy policy: ban unenrolled Command::spawn (prefer ProcessScope::enroll) alongside the existing canonicalize ban.
  • Workspace package versions advance to 0.2.116.

Upgrade notes

  • No special migration for source builds. If you rely on headless JSON, re-check parsers for streaming-json tool/usage events, snake_case stopReason, and the optional streaming-messages-json shape.
  • C# / Roslyn users who saw empty project diagnostics should set workspaceOpen in the language-server config (see shell README).
