Grok Build 0.2.74

0.2.73→0.2.74·June 29, 2026 at 8:36 PM UTC

Patch release refining Escape key behavior for cancel/clear/rewind actions and updating background task configuration defaults and naming.

Changelog

  • [changed] Escape key no longer moves focus between prompt and scrollback. A single Esc now immediately cancels a running turn from either pane; two presses within 800 ms clear a non-empty prompt or open the rewind picker when idle with an empty prompt and messages. All related sections in the keyboard shortcuts, getting-started, configuration, and sessions guides have been updated to document the new semantics and note that Ctrl+C remains available for draft clearing.
  • [changed] Background task configuration now uses fire_immediately (default false) instead of fireImmediately (default true). The 20-background-tasks.md guide reflects the renamed field and new default.

Under the hood

  • Updated system prompt with expanded guidance on evaluating action reversibility and blast radius before performing potentially destructive or visible operations.
  • Telemetry schema for session signals removed the toolsUsed field.
  • Bundled content manifest and version metadata updated for the release.
