Release Notes
Grok Build 1.0.42
- New grok worktree create command creates a managed worktree without launching an interactive session
- Bracketed pastes that did not come from the clipboard no longer attach leftover images (for example from IME commits)
- grok -p exits cleanly when interrupted and performs session cleanup instead of being killed
- Pressing Ctrl+C twice while writing a plan comment cancels the comment instead of getting stuck
- grok --minimal reprints history correctly after terminal resize and keeps the prompt/status rows anchored
- Restoring a stashed draft places the cursor at the end so continued typing appends correctly
- grok update on WinGet installs prints the winget upgrade command and exits without writing files
- Inline images are re-uploaded after a full repaint so they no longer appear blank
- Plugin hooks run on a fresh session without requiring an explicit reload
- Plugin auto-update detection works when marketplace URLs differ only by .git suffix or host case
