Grok Build 0.2.119

0.2.118→0.2.119·August 2, 2026 at 8:35 PM UTC

Patch release with clearer external-auth re-login when a headless refresh can’t mint a token, tighter permission path matching, a broader read-only git allowlist, and full keyboard control for the question card.

Changelog

  • [fix] External auth providers that fail a headless refresh (for example when SSO needs an interactive sign-in) no longer leave a dead credential in place. Grok invalidates the stored token and runs the provider interactively instead — the same flow as a fresh machine at startup, or a re-auth prompt and /login mid-session so device-code URLs and browser prompts can reach you.
  • [fix] Read/Edit/Grep path rules now match after lexical normalization: ./.. are collapsed, relative paths are joined with the session working directory, and ~-prefixed paths match literally. Rooted patterns can no longer be escaped with traversal, and shell-touched paths use the same working-directory-aware rules.
  • [changed] More read-only git commands are permitted without extra approval, including blame, describe, merge-base, shortlog, check-ignore, check-attr, cat-file, ls-tree, show-ref, for-each-ref, rev-list, name-rev, and count-objects.
  • [new] The ask_user_question card owns the keyboard while it is open: arrows/hjkl to move, Tab/Shift+Tab to walk answers across questions, number/letter hotkeys to pick, free-text via z or Space, multi-select toggle, copy, dismiss (Shift+X), and fullscreen (Ctrl+F).
  • [changed] Scroll follow indicators are documented as ▼/▲ arrows (center or hidden), not a single down-arrow.
  • [changed] Session details still report OAuth vs API key (and still suggest grok login for SuperGrok on API-key sessions) but no longer embed account/billing management URLs.
  • [changed] The Imagine skill steers multi-panel work (storyboards, contact sheets, comic grids) through per-panel reference-anchored generation plus code assembly, and tightens video continuity by seeding connected shots from the previous frame.
  • [removed] The [shortcuts] config block is no longer part of the documented configuration surface (including the project-scoped config note).

Under the hood

  • Mid-session external auth refresh timeout is 7s (was 5s); the initial interactive run remains 60s.
  • Bundled content manifest bumped to public-2026-07-30-r1.

Upgrade notes

  • If you relied on a [shortcuts] section in ~/.grok/config.toml, remove it; keyboard behavior is no longer configured that way.
