Changelog
0.2.98 — 2026-07-12
Breaking Changes
- You can now pin authentication to API key or OIDC in config.toml; the unpinned method is no longer tried automatically.
Features
- /context now shows token costs for skills and MCP servers.
- env_key in config now accepts an array of environment variable names.
- Linux middle-click paste from the primary selection now works; clipboard errors are handled more reliably.
- /terminal-setup now shows your terminal's color support level and which themes are available.
- grok setup --json prints your team's managed configuration without installing it.
- Messages you type while the model waits on tasks now stay queued; pressing Enter twice sends them immediately by cancelling the current turn.
- How-to Guides modal now shows a tip linking to Ask Grok above the footer shortcuts.
- Subagent task and spawn_subagent tools now accept an optional model parameter in the CLI.
- Keyboard Shortcuts modal now lists the paste key binding for images under the Input section.
Bug Fixes
- A pre_tool_use deny now feeds the reason back so the model can retry instead of cancelling the turn.
- Plan mode now strictly rejects edits outside the plan file, even under always-approve.
- Web search and X search no longer fail when both a local function tool and the backend hosted tool are active.
- Content-filter refusals from providers now show an explanation instead of ending silently with no output.
- SQLite databases no longer cause bus errors on network filesystems such as NFS.
- Resuming a session that is already open now focuses the existing view instead of creating duplicates.
- Turn completion markers in scrollback now read "Worked for …" instead of "Turn completed in …".
- /btw loading spinner now animates correctly when the main session is idle.
- Mid-turn wait spinners now correctly show "Waiting on task output…" instead of Thinking.
- Scrollbar thumb is now visible in the oscura-midnight theme.
- Status messages for background work now end with a period.
- Editing queued prompts no longer freezes the terminal or duplicates text into the composer.
