BREAKING: SpaceXAI has released another major new update for Grok Build (v1.0.19)

This update improves background task handling, adds transparent terminal themes, worktree support for headless sessions, and better session/dashboard controls. It also fixes UI freezes, crashes, feedback issues, clickable URLs, and makes the first prompt after login faster.

Breaking Changes

• Scheduled /loop tasks always run in the background; they no longer inject turns into your conversation.

Features

• New terminal theme option makes backgrounds transparent so the terminal's own colors show through.
• MCP servers blocked by organization policy now show clear messages and are refused before any config change.
• Session resume now tells the model what loops, subagents, and workflows were still running.
• Dashboard now shows newly dispatched sessions immediately instead of waiting for the store.
• Headless sessions (grok -p) now support the --worktree flag to run in a separate git worktree.
• Dashboard now says 'Open session' instead of 'Add session' for the session picker button.
• Multi-line bash commands now render with proper wrapping and highlighting when opening the block viewer.
• /usage now works from the dashboard and shows account allowance when no session is active.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed mid-turn UI freezes when the terminal stops reading output.
• Fixed crashes that occurred when the terminal pane was closed while grok was exiting.
• MCP server list in minimal mode now correctly shows policy-blocked servers.
• URLs that wrap across multiple lines inside quotes or lists are now fully clickable.
• The welcome screen composer now grows taller when you paste multi-line text.
• Enterprise policy files are no longer deleted on startup when your team login is stored at a custom GROK_AUTH_PATH.
• /feedback now drops unsupported images with a notice (matching the modal) and never loses your report text on save errors.
• Feedback drafts keep their paragraph breaks when updated, and the modal no longer switches tabs unexpectedly.
• Turn summary lines no longer lose their spacing after background tasks finish.
• Thinking blocks no longer stay expanded after switching between fullscreen and minimal modes.

Performance

• First prompt after login is faster when MCP servers are configured; they connect in the background.
