Grok Build v0.2.103 Changelog

This update focuses on making the software more reliable and less frustrating to use. It matters most to developers and power users who use this tool to write code, manage files, or connect to other computers, as it prevents weird freezes and makes working with outside tools much safer.

What's new

• Safer outside plugins: A new setting stops outside add-ons (plugins) from tracking "mutable" (changeable) branches or tags. This means the plugin will only run a specific, locked-in version of code, preventing surprises if someone changes the original code later.
• Better memory for local sessions: When you run a series of commands on your own computer, the tool now remembers your working folder, background settings, and exported variables (like saved preferences) between each step.
• Setup steps for MCP servers: Outside servers connected through plugins can now force you to pick a setting—like choosing a regional server—before they connect.
• Easier session resumes: When you exit a fullscreen task, the screen now shows the title of what you were working on and your last message right above the command you need to type to jump back in.
• Helpful SSH tip: When you connect to another computer remotely (using SSH), you'll see a one-time tip showing a better command to use. This special command keeps your copy/paste clipboard and screen working perfectly when you disconnect.

Fixes

• GitHub PR status: Fixed a glitch where checking the status of a GitHub Pull Request failed because the system was being forced to use color codes it couldn't understand.
• Frozen sessions: Fixed a "race condition" (a timing glitch). Before, if you canceled an action at the exact wrong moment, it would permanently freeze your turn. Now, canceling works smoothly.
• Synced versions: The main app and its background "agent" program now stay perfectly matched up, even if you haven't installed a new update.
• Copying long text: Fixed an annoying bug where copying a multi-line prompt you were about to send only copied a shortened summary. Now it copies everything you wrote.
• Terminal recovery: Fixed an issue where disconnecting from a remote computer (SSH) abruptly could leave your terminal screen acting weird. The app now fully resets it.
• Voice-to-text keys: Fixed a problem where using your voice to type didn't work if you had custom API passwords saved in your config file, but hadn't logged in through the normal menu.
• Clearer warnings: When trying to copy text to a remote computer or inside a container (an isolated software environment), the app now gives you a much clearer warning if it can't guarantee the text actually arrived.
• Folder deletion crash: Fixed a problem where local command sessions kept a background process running. Before, if you deleted the folder you were working in, the next command would fail. Now, each command starts fresh.
