Grok Build 0.2.118

0.2.117→0.2.118·August 1, 2026 at 12:35 AM UTC

Patch release: dashboard session delete is now permanent (with a click target), Doctor can fix tmux truecolor, and external OTEL gains private-CA support plus clearer startup behavior.

Changelog

  • [changed] On the Agent Dashboard, Ctrl+X twice within 2s now permanently deletes the session (same as /delete), instead of only closing it and dropping it from the live roster. Use /exit when you want to leave without wiping history.
  • [new] Idle/done dashboard rows can be permanently deleted by hovering to reveal [✗] and clicking twice to confirm.
  • [changed] Session delete from outside the current session is documented for the welcome session list as well as /resume (d then y).
  • [new] Doctor can detect and persist terminal.tmux-truecolor (set -as terminal-features ",*:RGB") so 24-bit theme colors survive tmux instead of being quantized to the outer terminal’s palette. After applying, reload tmux config and detach/reattach.
  • [new] External OTEL exporters accept OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_CERTIFICATE (and signal-specific variants): a PEM bundle of extra CA certs for collectors behind a private or corporate CA, additive to the system store and embedded Mozilla roots.
  • [changed] External auth provider mid-session refresh timeout is 7s (was 5s); initial auth remains 60s.
  • [changed] Monitoring docs describe external OTEL startup suppression: export stays closed briefly while fleet policy is fetched from /v1/settings, then starts (immediately when remote policy cannot apply, otherwise after the attempt finishes, and always within 30s). Later policy can only tighten, never enable what local config did not. Check grok --debug for external otel: lines if nothing reaches the collector.

Under the hood

  • await / task-wait timeout_ms is explicitly capped at 600000 ms (~10 minutes) in the tool schema, matching the existing documented limit.
