Grok Build 0.2.69

0.2.68→0.2.69·June 26, 2026 at 10:37 PM UTC

Patch release with --fork-session support, stricter --session-id semantics for new sessions, terminology updates to "always-approve", improved VS Code family terminal handling, and a new axiom marketplace plugin.

Changelog

  • [new] --fork-session flag: when used with --resume or --continue, creates a fresh session ID instead of reusing the original (optionally named via --session-id).
  • [changed] --session-id now accepts only a valid UUID for brand-new conversations and errors if the ID already exists under the target session directory; it no longer performs upsert/resume behavior (use --resume/--continue for that).
  • [new] Added the axiom marketplace plugin, providing skills for alerting, SRE workflows, dashboard building, cost control, metrics queries, SPL-to-APL conversion, and eval writing.
  • [changed] Renamed "auto-approve" references to "always-approve" throughout documentation, help text, and mode cycling for consistency with the flag and command names.
  • [changed] Keyboard shortcut and extensions modal documentation now distinguishes VS Code family terminals (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed), where Ctrl+L is reserved for mid-turn interject and extensions are opened via /plugins or /hooks.
  • [changed] Updated shell completions (bash, zsh, fish, elvish, PowerShell) and all user-guide pages to reflect the new session flags and terminal-specific bindings.
  • [changed] Headless mode and sessions documentation now clearly separate new-session creation (--session-id) from resumption (--resume/--continue) and document the new forking behavior.

Under the hood

  • Updated bundled manifest and content metadata to 0.2.69.
  • Refreshed marketplace cache contents and validation scripts for safer path handling in plugin sources.
  • Minor adjustments to slash-command MRU ordering and tip cursor state.

Upgrade notes

  • Existing scripts or aliases that relied on the old hidden upsert semantics of --session-id should switch to --resume or --continue.
  • Users on VS Code family terminals should open plugins/hooks via slash commands instead of Ctrl+L.
