Grok Build 1.0.32

1.0.31→1.0.32·September 15, 2026 at 1:39 AM UTC

Patch release 1.0.32: multi-reviewer simplicity checks land in /implement and /execute-plan, /review and /pr-babysit gain stack and ship workflows, and /design / /learn pick up publish and unattended-run support.

Changelog

  • [new] /design --publish — After the write–review loop finishes, optionally publish the final design doc (Notion page first; secret gist if Notion is unavailable). Local file stays the source of truth; publish is opt-in only.
  • [new] Simplicity specialist on every /implement and /execute-plan review — A dedicated simplicity reviewer is always pinned (YAGNI, one-caller helpers, unused abstractions). Effort 1 is now general + simplicity; higher effort still auto-selects security, tests, and plan-alignment specialists and can run up to 7 reviewers per PR.
  • [changed] /execute-plan --effort range is 1–5 — Per-PR multi-reviewer fan-out matches /implement (individual review files, merge, specialization tags, non-fatal specialist failures).
  • [changed] Implementer persona — Explicit simplicity ladder: skip unneeded work, reuse in-module code, prefer stdlib, keep diffs minimal; wontfix one-caller abstraction requests.
  • [new] /review modes and modifiers — Main mode (whole branch vs base on a clean tree), stack mode (one reviewer per PR in a Graphite/stacked chain), --submit (publish as COMMENT), and --approve (publish + approve). Bare /review uses local mode when the tree is dirty and main mode when it is clean. Default PR reviews stay PENDING.
  • [new] /pr-babysit optional ship cycle — add --ship, ship on|off, and ship can land merge-ready PRs bottom-up when every job has passed and no human or bot comments remain open. Shipping is opt-in; the fix path still never merges by default.
  • [changed] /pr-babysit review handling — Treats bot/automated findings (Bugbot, Copilot, CodeRabbit, Semgrep, Dependabot, etc.) like human threads: fix or reply substantively, then resolve. No per-cycle fix cap; failed attempts recover the worktree safely and retry next cycle.
  • [changed] /learn for unattended and safer curation — Headless//loop runs default to report mode with --since-last, block on state.py wait so the workflow finishes, present the report before any picker, skip retire actions on narrow windows (disuse_evidence), and group same-disposition unused surfaces into one decision.
  • [fix] PR watcher transport errors — watch_pr.py retries timeouts, resets, DNS, and gateway errors with backoff and jitter instead of treating them as PR events.
  • [changed] Subagent message rows — Transcript shows one-line Message rows for steers/queues/interjects (expand for full text); plan-mode prompt accepts complete pager commands without treating them as revision notes.
  • [changed] Marketplace plugins — Updated modern-web-guidance, pstack (setup-pstack description now covers reasoning budget), and vercel (vercel-functions description).

Under the hood

  • Optional request compression path (GROK_REQUEST_COMPRESSION) and related sampler support.
  • Workspace permission grants reorganized; hub connect deadline / hedge timing env knobs added.
  • Bundled content set bumped to public-2026-09-14-r1; remote settings may advertise accept_request_encodings.
  • Learn workflow keeps report agents inside the run directory; the parent session owns report_ready state.

Upgrade notes

  • /implement and /execute-plan always launch at least two reviewers (general + simplicity); expect parallel review even at default effort.
  • /pr-babysit still stops at merge-ready unless you opt into ship (--ship / ship on).
  • /design never uploads a doc unless you pass --publish or explicitly ask to publish.
