Latest v1.0.77·Nov 5, 2026·RSS

v1.0.77

Grok Build 1.0.77

  • [ui] kitty_keyboard = "query" lets Shift+Enter insert newlines in unidentified terminals
  • Quote copy now preserves & in links, and double-clicks no longer fold thoughts when missing text
  • MCP server connections no longer restart unnecessarily on session reloads or updates
  • Ctrl+L now works on more screens, and copy hints match what actually copies to the clipboard
  • Context usage shown in the footer no longer drops to zero or shows stale values after a rewind
  • Rows in the /resume list now expand and collapse the same way they do inside a session
v1.0.76

Grok Build 1.0.76

  • Ctrl+L redraws the screen after a terminal clear without flashing
  • Shell commands correctly handle startup functions containing special characters
v1.0.75

Grok Build 1.0.75

  • Permission rules that do not load, such as a rule that does not parse or a .claude/settings.json that is not valid JSON, show a warning when a session opens instead of being skipped silently
  • Cmd+Up/Cmd+Down and Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End move the cursor to the start or end of the whole prompt, and with Shift they select to there
  • Send now shows as Enter Enter in the footer where Ctrl+Enter arrives as plain Enter, such as inside tmux with its default settings
  • Clicking a link or file that cannot open, such as over SSH with no display, shows why, for example "Can't open links over SSH"
  • Left on an empty prompt opens the dashboard from any session or the welcome screen, not only from a session you opened from the dashboard
  • Workflow status lines say how many agents are still running instead of how many exist
  • Ctrl+L in the scrollback adds the selected message or highlighted text to the prompt as a quote; open Extensions with /plugins instead
  • Notes above a queued prompt, such as a model switch result or a ready worktree, stay on screen when the prompt starts instead of scrolling out of view
  • Stop buttons in the dock stop a background run while its approval card is open, instead of doing nothing until you answer the card
  • Rejecting a change keeps edits you saved to the file yourself, even when Grok missed the save, instead of overwriting them
  • grok --resume <id> opens the session in the folder it was recorded in, wherever you launch Grok from, instead of refusing
  • Windows: on older consoles such as plain cmd.exe and Windows PowerShell windows, the ▶, ⏸ and ◌ marks in todo, workflow and list rows show as characters the console can draw instead of empty boxes
  • Generated image and video paths with wide characters such as Chinese, Japanese or emoji fit their row and keep the file name, and Windows paths keep it too
  • The rewind confirmation no longer crashes Grok on a short terminal or when you shrink the window while it is open
  • Footer and status bars in narrow terminals drop or shorten the items that do not fit, instead of painting them over each other or cutting buttons off
  • Cut-off Fetch, Web Search and MCP tool output ends with the same … +N lines · <key> to view all row as code cells, naming your viewer key, and one hidden line reads +1 line
  • 16-color terminals show the paste label and tool accents in the muted gray other secondary text uses, and the paste label brackets no longer vanish on the light theme
  • A question card's Enter:submit button, the dashboard session popup's [✗], and collapsed workflow rows highlight under the mouse pointer like other clickable controls
  • Emoji and keycap symbols are measured at the width the terminal draws them, so rows no longer run past their box or lose their …
  • /export to a named pipe that nothing is reading fails right away instead of freezing Grok until it is killed
  • Typing a digit or symbol while the scrollback has focus, with vim keys off, moves focus to the prompt and types it there, as letters already do; ? still opens the command palette
  • grok sessions delete no longer fails with "Directory not empty" when another process is still writing into the session's folder
  • Dashboard rows stay in Working while a session's background subagents or workflow runs are going, and stopping the row ends them
  • Code blocks inside quotes render every line under the quote's bars, quote copies turn reference links into inline links, and lines after multi-line math are numbered correctly
  • Disabling a project's hook in /hooks applies only to that repository, instead of also skipping hooks with the same name in other repositories
  • Turning a skill on or off in the Skills tab saves only [skills].disabled to config.toml, so an organization's managed skill folders and ignore list keep applying
v1.0.74

Grok Build 1.0.74

  • Messages between subagents appear as left-aligned rows under the bullet that name the sender and recipient, replacing the centered rows
  • Shift+Enter inserts a newline in VS Code and other xterm.js-based terminals that use the Kitty keyboard protocol
  • /mcps: when a browser cannot open an MCP server's sign-in URL, the URL shows in a panel you can copy with c or the [copy the url] button
  • Shell approval cards say when Auto-review blocked a command or could not review it, and Ctrl+F shows the reviewer's explanation
  • ! mode Tab completion offers commands installed as symlinks, such as Homebrew, npm, rustup and Debian alternatives binaries
  • Quotes in replies get a [Copy] button that copies the whole quote as Markdown without its > markers
  • Named subagent links open on a plain click, so they work over SSH from macOS where a modified click cannot reach Grok
  • @ paths outside the workspace: an @ path that starts with /, ~/ or ../ lists files from that folder; set [ui] at_picker_outside_workspace = false to turn it off
  • Picked @ files in the prompt can be edited in place: Backspace at the end of one reopens the picker on its path, and Left or Right puts the cursor inside it to change the path
  • Built-in skills, agents and workflows are refreshed when their local cache's manifest is missing or corrupt, instead of staying outdated or failing every sync
  • Ctrl+Y on a question card no longer closes it without an answer; while you type an answer, it pastes back text cut with Ctrl+K
  • /new tabs show the context window you just switched to before the new session replies
  • Resumed sessions show a background command's completion in the turn that ran it, with its real run time instead of about 0.0s
  • grok update still runs when --sandbox or config sets a sandbox profile, unless Grok is already running confined
  • A code block [Copy] in the transcript copies while a queued prompt is open for editing, instead of copying nothing or closing the edit
  • grok logout stays signed out when another running Grok refreshes its sign-in, instead of signing you back in on the next launch
  • Opening links and files from the TUI no longer leaves a zombie process behind for each click
  • A failed session delete shows the "Could not delete session" prefix once, so the reason is no longer cut off
  • Windows: Grok exits fully after a startup error, a /minimal or /fullscreen switch, or a signal, instead of sometimes hanging
  • Grok running confined in a sandbox never starts an update on its own and tells you to run grok update instead
  • Quitting to install an update with Ctrl+U on the welcome screen exits within the usual exit deadline instead of sometimes hanging after "Update installed"
  • grok update --force-reinstall, or grok update --version with the installed version, keeps your working grok on Linux and macOS when the download fails its checks, instead of deleting it
  • Windows installers check that the downloaded build runs before replacing grok.exe and agent.exe, and keep the existing install when it does not, such as when a proxy serves a blocked-download page
  • Command-line arguments that are not valid UTF-8 no longer crash grok at startup: paths such as --cwd accept them, and text such as -p gets a usage error
  • Installers keep the installed grok when a proxy or cache returns an empty download, instead of replacing it with an empty file and reporting success
  • Environment variables with non-UTF-8 bytes no longer stop Grok from starting
  • Workflow run lines in the transcript end with what the run returned instead of a bare colon, /tasks shows the time it was taken, and polling an unknown task id leaves a row with its error
  • Headless runs stopped by Ctrl-C or SIGTERM end their json, streaming-json or streaming-messages-json output with a closing record that keeps the run's outcome, instead of cutting off the stream
  • macOS: the TUI no longer freezes when it runs inside a sandbox that blocks the window server
  • grok -p --resume shows why a session could not load instead of always "Session does not exist", and with --output-format json a resume, continue or fork that fails before the session opens prints one JSON error
  • Sessions with an unrecognized reasoning effort or unreadable bytes in their history resume instead of failing: the session runs at the model's default effort and says so once, and the unreadable lines are left out of the transcript
  • Windows: on older consoles such as plain cmd.exe and Windows PowerShell windows, status marks and selection arrows in workflow views, the dashboard, and the feedback and extensions dialogs show as >, •, √ or x instead of empty boxes
  • File paths with spaces in inline code, such as ~/Library/Application Support/..., link to the whole path when it exists instead of stopping at the first space
  • Feedback that cannot be sent leads with the outcome, such as "Could not send feedback. Saved to Drafts.", then gives the reason and says to retry from /feedback
  • Dialog tab labels, shortcuts and settings rows that do not fit end in … instead of being cut off
  • Prompt history search highlights matched letters in the same color as other fuzzy lists, and the counts on the / and @ menu borders are dimmed like other border captions
  • Dashboard: the peek header reads Responding while a reply streams, and the Esc footer hint reads new agent like the other lowercase hints
  • Custom agent files saved with a UTF-8 byte order mark, as some Windows editors write them, load instead of being skipped
  • Running markers in workflow views and MCP servers that are still starting use the theme's running color, like other progress indicators
  • Minimal mode: "Sign-in failed" shows in the error color instead of the warning color
  • A larger context window picked with /context-window stays in effect, so compaction no longer starts early after the session sits idle, after a failed request such as a rate limit, or until you restart
  • Long sessions use less memory: finished Markdown blocks far off screen release their rendered layout, and search still finds their text
  • Typing no longer lags when ffmpeg is not installed and PATH holds slow directories, such as Windows drives under WSL
  • Long pastes that arrive as keystrokes, such as pastes on native Windows or in terminals without bracketed paste, no longer freeze the prompt for seconds while the plan-mode tip is on
  • Pasting long single-line text such as logs, JSON or base64 into the prompt no longer freezes the TUI for seconds
  • File watching on Linux no longer keeps a CPU core busy for about a minute after startup in large repositories
  • Lower CPU use while subagents run: the TUI repaints only for animations on screen
  • grok --resume <id> opens much faster on large session stores, reading only the resumed session instead of every session
v1.0.73

Grok Build 1.0.73

  • Page Up/Page Down, Home and End move the selection in /skills and other pickers
  • Automatic updates stop retrying a new version that fails to start on this machine until a newer version is out, and each launch says to run grok update to see why
  • Gruvbox dark theme (gruvbox-dark-hard), selectable with /theme
  • Start in multiline in /settings ([ui] multiline_default) starts new sessions and the dashboard in multiline mode, where Enter inserts a newline
  • Windows: quitting Grok ends grok.exe once the terminal is restored, so the shell no longer sometimes waits with no prompt
  • Several Send nows in a row no longer label the turns they stop "Turn cancelled by user" or jump the transcript view
  • --restore-code: when the code restore fails, your uncommitted and untracked files stay in the working tree instead of in a stash
  • Windows: shortcuts typed with Shift-held symbols or AZERTY digit keys work
  • Queued images show as green chips in the queue pane, as in the prompt
  • Typing while the transcript has focus moves any character, including non-ASCII text, to the prompt, and leaves a pending card or plan approval as it is
  • Worktree creation notes stay on screen when a queued prompt starts
  • Session load errors show the whole reason instead of cutting out the middle of a long message
  • Lines with | that are not a Markdown table wrap like other text instead of being cut off at the terminal edge
  • Transcript selection stays on the same row when a row above it is removed
  • Kitty graphics protocol: images Grok hides are freed in the terminal, so they no longer use its memory
  • --restore-code restores its own stash even when another worktree changes the stash list meanwhile, and keeps your changes stashed when a post-checkout hook fails after the checkout
v1.0.72

Grok Build 1.0.72

  • Relative file paths in the agent's output, such as src/app/main.rs, open on click when the file exists under the session's folder, as absolute paths already do
  • Subagent and background task ids mentioned in the transcript open that subagent's view or the task's output on click
  • Pull-request numbers such as #123 in the agent's replies open that pull request on the session repository's forge
  • Subagents named in a reply show as the subagent's label instead of its raw id once the reply finishes, as a link that opens its transcript
  • /workflow runs detail view: → or a click focuses a phase's agent list, ↑/↓ pick an agent, Enter opens it, and ← returns to the phases
  • Feedback draft rows show on their own instead of inside a group of tool rows, and opening one shows the /feedback Drafts tab with that draft selected
  • Warp: clicking a URL that wraps across rows opens the whole URL instead of only its first row
  • /delete confirmation starts on Cancel, so pressing Enter no longer deletes the session; press 1 to delete
  • Max thoughts width (/settings, [ui].max_thoughts_width) sets how wide thinking blocks wrap; it previously had no effect
  • Dashboard shows the new folder on the dispatch box's top border right after a Ctrl+L or /cd pick
  • Custom models on the Responses API with a custom base_url no longer fail every turn with an HTTP 400 schema error for use_tool
  • /feedback Drafts tab keeps the selected draft when the list reloads, such as after leaving Drafts and coming back
  • MCP tools built with FastMCP or the official MCP SDK send their result to the model once instead of twice, so each call uses about half the context
  • Plan review notes accept every key, so a note that starts with a no longer approves the plan
  • MCP servers over stdio no longer lose part of a long reply line, such as a large tool list, when a read is interrupted
v1.0.71

Grok Build 1.0.71

  • ui.single_ctrl_c_quit = true lets a single Ctrl+C quit when no draft or unfinished work would be lost. It is also under Editor in /settings; the default still asks for a second press
  • Image chips in the prompt use the same green as sent images in the transcript
  • Hovering an image chip in the transcript shows the image that was sent, or why it was not attached
  • Hooks accept "failClosed": true: when such a hook times out or crashes, the tool call is denied or the prompt is blocked instead of going ahead
  • Vim editing in the prompt (experimental): set [keys] vim = "all" in config.toml for Insert and Normal modes with vim motions, operators, counts and undo. The prompt's info line shows NORMAL or INSERT
  • Inline images display in Noctty on Windows
  • Answers to the agent's questions show one row per question and answer, and end in … only when the text is cut
  • Prompt vim cursor is a block in Normal mode and a bar in Insert mode; ui.cursor_blink sets whether they blink
  • Minimal mode starts its info row with the prompt's vim mode (NORMAL or INSERT), and NORMAL is shown in bold
  • Image chips in your messages stay whole on one row when the message wraps
  • Images the server rejects are removed from the conversation, so the notice that images were left out no longer repeats, and grows, on every later turn
  • Feedback draft rows show the draft's state: drafted, declined, cancelled or failed
  • A slash menu closed with Esc no longer reopens by itself when the command list refreshes, such as right after startup
  • Turn failed rows no longer repeat a generic "Request failed:" before the error
v1.0.70

Grok Build 1.0.70

  • Answered questions now have a blank line between them, except in compact mode (/compact-mode)
  • /plugins now counts only the plugin skills that load, and says how many were skipped because they link outside the plugin folder
v1.0.69

Grok Build 1.0.69

  • Dashboard directory grouping now shows a header with the folder path and agent count above each folder of agents
  • Dashboard location (branch and folder) now sits on the dispatch box top border instead of its own header row
  • /resume on the dashboard now lists sessions from every folder, with the current folder and its checkouts first
  • Welcome menu now lists Resume session (Ctrl+R) above New worktree (Ctrl+W)
  • [ui] simple_mode is retired and no longer has any effect; sessions always open with the prompt focused
  • grok doctor and /doctor now point out a leftover [ui] vim_mode key (now [keys] vim) or the retired [ui] simple_mode key in your config
  • Quitting Grok returns you to your shell sooner
v1.0.68

Grok Build 1.0.68

  • Worktree create and fork now list files that could not be copied and any mode changes that were lost
  • Vim navigation is now one setting, [keys] vim (off or nav), also set with /vim-mode; the older [ui] vim_mode still works
  • Terminal theme now draws a subtle band behind your prompts using the colors your terminal reports
  • Mode-switch toast now shows the mode name (Agent, Plan, Ask) in the color of that mode
  • Change-directory picker (Ctrl+L on the dashboard) opens with the path field unfocused, like the /resume search
  • Image placeholders in the transcript now show whether the actual image was sent or only the text was typed
  • Worktree create now fails cleanly instead of falling back when it cannot copy tracked files or runs out of disk space
  • Running Grok sessions are no longer broken when an update deletes their binary
  • Dashboard model picks now keep their selected context window when spawning the next session
  • Send Now prompts and rewound turns now correctly restore and mark any images that were originally sent
  • Resumed sessions now show the correct sent or struck-through state for image placeholders
v1.0.67

Grok Build 1.0.67

  • Worktrees also use saved "always allow" answers from the main checkout, so you are not asked again for a tool you already allowed there. Set [features] worktree_inherits_main_approvals = false to turn this off; the main checkout "never allow" answers apply either way
  • Prompt suggestions follow vim mode: with [ui].vim_mode on, Tab moves focus to the scrollback instead of accepting the suggestion. → or Ctrl+→ accepts a suggestion, and Esc dismisses it
  • Headless grok -p runs exit when their work is done instead of hanging when a background task or subagent finishes and its output is read in the same turn
  • The theme picker in Settings restores your previous theme when you leave it any way other than Enter, as /theme already does
  • Quitting a session with hooks configured is faster
v1.0.66

Grok Build 1.0.66

  • /theme restores your previous theme when you leave the picker any way other than Enter, such as Esc, Ctrl+U, Tab then Esc, or opening Settings or the dashboard
  • Selected and highlighted rows stay readable on every theme because reverse-video text is never dimmed. This fixes faint descriptions in selected menu rows on the terminal theme in terminals such as Kitty
  • @ file completion shows results faster after you type
v1.0.65

Grok Build 1.0.65

  • /resume search finds sessions from other folders, tolerates typos, and also matches the commands, file paths, and replies in a session
  • --permission-mode plan starts the session in plan mode, as documented, instead of the default mode
  • The dashboard Ctrl+L folder picker lists up to 50 recent folders instead of 10
  • grok --help gives each command and option a one-line summary, and grok help -h and grok help --help print help for the help command itself instead of an error
  • /resume search keeps a single typed character literal and matches each typed word at the start of a word, so log fix no longer matches "Blog prefix cleanup"
  • Any value of DISABLE_TELEMETRY or DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING, including 0 and false, turns telemetry and crash reports off
v1.0.64

Grok Build 1.0.64

  • Untrusted folders run only managed hooks from your organization. User, project, plugin, and agent hooks wait until you trust the folder. Headless sessions treat user hooks as trusted
  • Worktree names typed with Ctrl+W keep Unicode letters such as café, and a name or ref that starts with - is refused
  • Auto mode runs a shell command without review only when every command in it matches an allowlist entry; anything else asks first. Permission rules read each word the way bash passes it to the program
  • /resume loads older sessions when you reach the last row, and shows how many sessions are loaded
  • Auto mode runs make --version, cmake --version, and just --version without asking
  • HTTP connections, including remote MCP servers, accept gzip, brotli, zstd, and deflate compressed responses
  • Plugin install suggestions above the prompt are off when disable_plugins = true is set
  • New worktrees keep tracked files that match .gitignore, and leave out files excluded only by .git/info/exclude or core.excludesFile
  • A new session that fails to start puts what you typed back in the prompt you return to, instead of losing it
  • Web search works from the first turn of a session, and in subagents, when the search model signs in through an external auth provider
  • grok -w, grok worktree create, worktree forks, and subagent worktrees refuse up front with the sandbox refusal message when the sandbox profile does not allow creating worktrees
  • Worktree options are hidden in /fork, /new, and the Welcome screen when the sandbox profile does not allow creating worktrees
  • A worktree name you type that is already taken is refused instead of getting a numbered suffix, and a name whose folder you deleted by hand can be used again
  • Grok on macOS without a GUI session, such as over SSH, no longer hangs on its first modifier-key check
  • Custom models on the Responses API keep the turn going when a web search call starts without an action
  • Shell commands run correctly on zsh when your startup files alias grep or replace run-help
  • Voice dictation preview grows the prompt as you speak and keeps the newest words in view
v1.0.63

Grok Build 1.0.63

  • Memory always uses the concise MEMORY.md index of topic titles and paths, and /memory lists topics by how often Grok reads them. The [memory_v2] compact_index_enabled setting no longer has an effect
  • Rex terminal support reports each open session and each running subagent as its own record, so Rex shows what each one is doing. Set children = false under [ui.notifications.program_status] to report only the main status
  • grok worktree list and grok worktree show mark a worktree whose folder is missing or whose source repository moved, with a hint on how to repair it
  • Command hooks accept an args list: Grok runs command as one program with those arguments and no shell, and fills hook variables such as $GROK_SESSION_ID in each argument
  • Plan reviews that open while you are typing keep your text in the review notes, so a typed letter no longer triggers a plan shortcut such as approve
  • Plan reviews at the end of a turn wait until you close an open /feedback dialog, question, tool prompt, or queued prompt edit
  • grok -w and Ctrl+W explain that no worktree was made when you run them outside a git repository
  • /fork keeps the model and effort from the parent session when Grok was started with -m or --effort
  • Custom models on Chat Completions endpoints no longer fail turns with a tool schema error when MCP servers are connected
  • Workflow run views hide live status text for each agent on narrower terminals, so agent names are no longer cut off
v1.0.62

Grok Build 1.0.62

  • Headless mode (grok -p) waits for the follow-up turn that a finished background task starts before exiting, and a --background-wait-timeout that stops pending work exits with an error instead of success
  • Cold /resume from the dashboard overlay keeps the overlay attached, so you can still back out with Left or Ctrl+\
  • Enter on a highlighted slash command with optional arguments runs the command instead of leaving a trailing space in the composer
  • CLI commands such as grok models, grok sessions and grok export no longer crash when their output pipe closes early, such as when piped to head, or when the output device is full
  • grok update and grok login no longer crash when stdout or stderr is closed or unwritable
v1.0.61

Grok Build 1.0.61

  • Resume picker finds sessions whose titles contain every word you type, in any order
  • /resume <id or name> opens the session directly when the ID or title matches exactly one session, instead of always opening the picker
  • Dashboard peek text can be selected by dragging over it with the mouse, and the selection is copied to the clipboard when you release
  • Workflow run views scroll toward newer agents when you wheel down the agent roster, instead of snapping back
  • Hook spawn failures on Windows name the program that failed to start, such as PowerShell or Git Bash, instead of blaming the hook script
v1.0.60

Grok Build 1.0.60

  • grok --resume <title> lists matching sessions newest first with when each was last updated, and suggests similar titles when nothing matches
  • Shift+Y in the fullscreen markdown viewer copies the code block under the cursor
  • grok --resume <title> with a title that matches no local session reports the miss right away instead of trying a remote restore and asking you to sign in
  • Esc on the first question in a session opened from the dashboard moves focus to the scrollback, as it does in a standalone session, instead of returning to the dashboard
v1.0.59

Grok Build 1.0.59

  • Dashboard /loop without a prompt shows its usage instead of starting a new session
  • grok --resume <title> matches a title whatever separates its words, so fix-login-bug finds "Fix login bug"
  • [Copy] buttons appear under code blocks in finished replies, labeled with the language or file name of the code
  • Dashboard peek replies waiting on a clipboard paste are canceled with a toast when you move the peek to another row or press Esc, instead of being sent later
  • grok worktree rm no longer suggests -f for a worktree that -f would also refuse to remove
  • Advanced PowerShell inline hooks that read $input run with a warning instead of failing
  • Hooks that return continue: false stop the turn instead of being ignored
  • Copy rows under code blocks, tables, and diagrams display correctly after switching between minimal and fullscreen modes
  • Copying a code block or a whole reply keeps its original tabs instead of turning them into spaces

v1.0.54

Grok Build 1.0.54

  • /resume takes an optional session id or title and opens the picker filtered to matching sessions
  • Pasted Windows line endings reach the model as newlines, markdown images no longer show a stray "!", and dollar amounts that are not math stay plain text
  • Write approval cards show a binary or unreadable file as unreadable instead of garbled text
  • Prompts you send while a session is resuming at startup are queued and sent once it loads instead of staying in the composer
  • A corrupt session list no longer stops new sessions from registering: grok keeps a backup, salvages the rows it can read, and warns you
  • Wrapped URLs in shell command descriptions link to the full address on every row
  • Worktree forks (grok -w -r or /fork into a worktree) run in and show the worktree path, so a shell command no longer edits the original checkout
  • Links are clickable in herdr panes
  • Memory search shows the matching part of a long line instead of cutting it off before the match
  • /memory skips a symlinked note instead of failing the whole listing
  • Startup is faster when TMUX names a tmux server that has stopped
  • Failed MCP tool rows wrap the error to the screen width and keep its line breaks
  • [skills].ignore matches a symlinked SKILL.md by the folder that holds it
  • Failed file reads expand to show why they failed
  • Send now (Ctrl+Enter) on a slash command runs or queues it as a command instead of sending it as a prompt
  • The idle welcome screen uses less CPU
  • Typing in a prompt that holds large pastes is faster, and prompt undo history is capped so deleted pastes no longer stay in memory
  • Long sessions use less memory after long replies scroll off screen
v1.0.53

Grok Build 1.0.53

  • Wrapped shell commands in tool and background-task rows copy back as one line
  • /hooks lists load errors from inline hooks and from plugins
  • --tools and --disallowed-tools also apply in the interactive TUI
  • /goal pauses after three continuations in a row with no tool call; run /goal resume to continue
  • Quitting warns when it would stop a running workflow and asks you to confirm with a second quit

  • grok --help and grok --version no longer create a .grok folder
  • Wrapped URLs in tool headers link to the full address on every row
  • /workflow stop and /workflow pause no longer pick a run from a loose fuzzy match, and headless -p runs print each refused approval request to stderr
  • Workflow run views list agents outside a declared phase and count only finished agents as done
  • Parallel MCP tool calls that ask for input each show their own prompt
  • /feedback Drafts load the valid drafts when one saved draft is invalid
  • grok sessions list and /resume keep working when one session directory is unreadable
  • grok plugin install interrupted mid-clone on Linux no longer leaves a partial folder that blocks the retry
  • Hooks you disabled stay disabled when the disabled-hooks file cannot be read
  • Edit diffs mark removed and added lines with - and + when color is off
  • Session usage keeps every turn when two windows write to the same session
  • Failed directory listings expand to show why they failed
  • Stdio MCP servers expand a leading ~ in their command and arguments to your home directory
  • Editing a queued command such as /compact is refused with a message, so your new text is kept
  • /docs opens the exact guide or picker you type
  • grok inspect warns when a known [features] key in config.toml has a non-boolean value

  • @-mentions reuse the file list until the folder tree changes, so suggestions appear faster
v1.0.52

Grok Build 1.0.52

  • Added support for OSC 7501 and the Rex terminal
  • Expanded tool-call groups stay expanded as new calls join them, and Ctrl+E expands or collapses thinking faster in long transcripts
