Release Notes
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
