This update is all about making the Grok command-line tool (CLI) more reliable and easier to run automatically in the background. It introduces smarter, safer ways to test the code and a new way to run multiple tasks at once without needing a visual screen. This matters most to developers who use Grok to automate their work and want to make sure everything runs smoothly without manual supervision.
What's new
- Safer, automated testing (Sandboxed & Smoke Tests): The tool now has a built-in "verify" process. Before updates go live, it automatically tests the code in a "sandbox" (a safe, isolated environment where mistakes won't hurt anything else). It also runs "browser smoke checks"—which are quick, basic tests to make sure the web browser part of the tool actually opens and doesn't immediately crash (or "start smoking") when turned on.
- Batch mode for "headless" runs: You can now run Grok in "headless" mode (running quietly in the background without popping up a visual window or user interface) to process a "batch" (a large group of tasks) all at once. This is perfect for running big jobs automatically on a server.
Breaking changes
No breaking changes in this release.
