October 2026: Grok Build tightens hook and approval security, and overhauls /resume and worktrees
Grok Build in October 2026 focused on safer permissions and hooks, much better session resume, and worktree handling. Twenty-seven releases shipped, from v1.0.47 to v1.0.73.
Untrusted folders now run only managed organization hooks (v1.0.64), auto mode runs a shell command without review only when every command matches an allowlist entry, and hook permission prompts appear in every approval mode. /resume gained search across folders that tolerates typos and matches commands, file paths and replies, and grok --resume <title> now lists matches newest first. Worktrees got safer: grok worktree rm refuses to delete worktrees in use, and worktrees can inherit saved "always allow" approvals from the main checkout. Other changes include a single [keys] vim setting, [Copy] buttons under code blocks, and /goal pausing after three continuations with no tool call. Several releases were minor bug fixes, and v1.0.71 to v1.0.73 only link to the external changelog.
- Untrusted folders run only managed organization hooks until you trust the folder (v1.0.64)
- /resume search finds sessions from other folders, tolerates typos and matches commands, file paths and replies (v1.0.65)
- grok worktree rm without -f refuses to delete worktrees that are in use or have unsaved changes (v1.0.50)
- Worktrees reuse "always allow" answers from the main checkout; disable with [features] worktree_inherits_main_approvals = false (v1.0.67)
- Vim navigation is now one setting, [keys] vim (off or nav), also set with /vim-mode (v1.0.68)
- [Copy] buttons appear under code blocks in finished replies, and Shift+Y copies a block in the markdown viewer (v1.0.59, v1.0.60)
