Release Notes
Grok Build 1.0.46
- grok inspect and the MCP doctor report MCP server sources correctly
- Tool search activity folds as "Ran N tool searches" instead of claiming MCP tool results
- Client rules supplied at session start are preserved when the system prompt is rebuilt later
- Permission rules with relative paths apply even when the working directory contains symlinks
- The context-compacted line shows the token count from right after compaction, instead of the count at the end of a long turn
- Pressing Enter on a video card no longer tries to play it in a terminal that cannot show video or that lacks ffmpeg
- Video cards open the file in the default player on Enter when the terminal has no inline playback, and no longer get stuck extracting posters without ffmpeg
- list_dir on network or virtual filesystems skips slow subtree counts and prints a notice
- Session startup is faster when loading skills from large directories, and shows what it is doing instead of a generic spinner
