Release Notes
Grok Build 1.0.50
- grok worktree rm without -f refuses to delete worktrees that are in use or have unsaved changes, and exits with an error
- Compact mode collapses recaps and keeps inner spacing on tall terminals
- Clicking the git branch in the header copies the full branch name
- Long branch names abbreviate on narrow terminals and stay copyable
- A targeted cancel stops only the response the client asked to stop
- Compact mode hides the dock, or the tasks pane, the same way Ctrl+G does
- A timestamps setting offers off, minimal, and on in Settings and /timestamps
- Shell command output shows "Running …" while a command executes and "Ran …" when it finishes
- Live preview pins include whether an app was observed behind the URL
- The command palette (Ctrl+P) and the model picker open at the same width as the settings modal
- The dashboard shows which worktree each session belongs to, shows the -m model in the new-agent box, and lets you toggle worktree mode in the folder picker
- Shell permission decisions prompt or approve commands that match the permission manager
- Cancelled turns mark unanswered tool calls as cancelled instead of succeeded
- Long error messages in the /usage and /session-info modals wrap instead of being cut off
- Status messages and subagent rows no longer use em dashes
- A stalled model call during a turn retries before the turn fails
- The queue pane and Ctrl+; still appear and work when the dock is hidden with Ctrl+G
- Long sessions stay connected when the conversation is larger than 4 MiB
- Permission rules accept native tool names such as run_terminal_command and Shell
- /rewind places the text cursor at the end of the restored prompt
- A failed file write leaves the previous contents in place instead of an empty file
- /loop and scheduler_create accept non-ASCII intervals such as 5分 without crashing the session
- Naming only one scheduler tool in --disallowed-tools no longer makes the other two fail startup

- grok --cwd a stays in a instead of running inside a/a
- The terminal title shows "Action Required" when any background session is waiting on approval
- Headless grok accepts a prompt on piped stdin instead of trying to open the UI
- [features] title_refresh = false in requirements.toml disables title refresh even when GROK_TITLE_REFRESH is set
- Custom notification commands under [[ui.notifications.hooks]] run when their events match
- An admin pin of [cli] use_leader = false keeps --leader from starting a leader process
- When several MCP servers expose a tool with the same name, search_tool returns all of them
- Grok windows editing settings at the same time no longer drop or corrupt config.toml entries such as MCP servers or permission rules
- web_fetch rejects a huge file before downloading it into memory
- memory_get no longer returns a file that exceeds the read limit
- Continue to run no longer kills commands that are running inside background subagents
- memory_search finds Japanese, Chinese, and Korean words inside longer notes
- Drafts the model saves show up under their real titles in /feedback
- Imagine replies that are not valid images are rejected instead of being saved as .jpg files
- A workflow file that fails to parse reports that file and the parse error, instead of "unknown workflow"
- Re-encoded images keep the orientation from their EXIF tags
