Grok Build 0.2.106

0.2.105→0.2.106·July 19, 2026 at 12:33 AM UTC

Patch release focused on copy reliability in SSH and limited terminals: /copy can write to a file, every copy is backed up on disk, and OSC 52 can be turned off when a terminal mishandles it.

Changelog

  • [new] /copy accepts a file path so the response is written to disk instead of the clipboard — useful over SSH when the local clipboard is unreachable (/copy out.txt, /copy 2 ~/exports/last-reply.md).
  • [new] Every in-app copy is also written to a backup file (~/.grok/last-copy.txt by default, or GROK_COPY_FILE if set). The toast names that path so you can always retrieve the text when the clipboard cannot be reached or OSC 52 delivery cannot be verified.
  • [new] GROK_CLIPBOARD_NO_OSC52=1 disables the OSC 52 clipboard leg on Linux and over SSH/tmux/containers. Use this when a terminal paints OSC 52 payloads as visible garbage (for example some VNC/X11 clients); /terminal-setup then reports osc 52 off. Native and tmux clipboard paths are unchanged.
  • [changed] Scheduled tasks can be updated in place by id (provided fields replace old values, omitted ones stay put, schedule phase is preserved). New tasks can run each fire as a foreground main-conversation turn when they need full conversation context; one-shot delayed work is steered toward a background shell sleep instead of a non-recurring schedule.
  • [changed] Minimal mode syntax highlighting no longer switches light/dark theme files. Near-gray tokens use the terminal default foreground; chromatic tokens use base ANSI accents so read-file output and fenced code stay legible on both light and dark profiles.
  • [changed] Docs for Apple Terminal over SSH and related clipboard workarounds now describe the backup file and path-based /copy as the primary recovery path; grok wrap remains available when you want live local clipboard interception.

Under the hood

  • Clipboard and terminal-support guidance updated for Wayland/X11/SSH edge cases, including the OSC 52 kill switch and clearer Apple Terminal recovery steps.
  • User-guide pages for slash commands, theming, and terminal support refreshed to match the behaviors above.
