Release Notes

Grok Build 0.2.87

Subscription upgrades are now detected automatically without restarting the CLI
Bash permission prompts now offer a "Never allow" choice that persists the deny rule
New /docs slash command opens How-to Guides picker, browses web docs, or jumps directly to a guide by title
Per-model reasoning effort menus are now configurable from the server and config.toml without a client release
Finished thinking blocks now fold into grouped tool-call rows when group_tool_verbs is enabled
--minimal mode now always uses your terminal’s own colors so text stays readable on any background
Invalid fields in [model.*] config blocks no longer cause the whole model to disappear from the picker
File tools no longer target paths with literal trailing newlines or whitespace from model output
Fixed interactions in no-freeform question modals so clicks below the last option no longer enter input mode
Background tasks now correctly wake the agent after a cancelled blocking wait instead of staying idle
Copying quoted text from rendered responses no longer includes the quote bar prefix in pretty mode
