SessionMode gains 'grok', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
shell, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity and Pi: its own PTY, tmux
session, charcoal tab identity ('gk' badge), welcome button, run-mode
entry, cron agentType, Docker and remote-SSH command defaults, and
clone-repo Brain option. Flag surface verified live against grok 1.0.5.
Grok mixes two existing shapes and the wiring follows from that:
- Codex-shaped on permissions: the bypass switch is GrokConfig.alwaysApprove
(--always-approve, grok's bypassPermissions mode; config-level deny rules
still apply on top). The Run button sends it true, like runAntigravity(),
and clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() puts grok in the only-if-sent branch:
a bare grok spawn is grok's own ask-mode default, which is already safe,
so only a sent config needs the flag forced off. Cron needs nothing for
the same reason.
- OpenCode-shaped on rendering: grok is a fullscreen alternate-screen TUI
with mouse support, so it stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode() and lands
on the narrow tmux-attach strip and the 'buffer' local-echo fallthrough
(unmeasured against an authenticated composer; documented fallback is the
'off' branch).
- Pi-shaped on resolution: 'grok' has npm squatters (@vibe-kit/grok-cli
also installs a grok bin), so grok-cli-resolver.ts version-probes every
candidate (grok --version, killSignal SIGKILL, VITEST-gated) and
GET /api/grok/status surfaces path AND version; GROK_VERSION_REGEX is
shared with the dependency registry so doctor and run mode cannot drift.
Env allowlist gains GROK_* plus the XAI_* vendor namespace (XAI_API_KEY is
grok's documented headless auth var), the same narrow-vendor reasoning as
GOOGLE_* for gemini. Resume is id-regexed on purpose: grok's own --resume
also matches session titles, which are arbitrary user strings that must
never reach the bash -c spawn line.
Docker: grok is not on npm, so the agent image installs it in its own step
(xAI's installer has no --dir override; the binary is copied to
/usr/local/bin and root's ~/.grok dropped in the same layer), and
credentials are seeded per-file (auth.json, config.toml, pager.toml; the
dir also holds sessions/, memory/ and the ~160MB binary). Remote SSH routes
through the login-shell wrapper like the other agent CLIs.
Verified end to end on an isolated CODEMAN_INSTANCE with grok 1.0.5
installed: /api/grok/status resolves and reports the probed version,
quick-start spawns a pane whose command line ends in 'grok
--always-approve', the real TUI renders (OAuth device screen on an
unauthenticated box), and grokConfig round-trips through state.json.
Docs: docs/grok-integration.md (user guide) + docs/grok-integration-plan.md
(decisions, verification record, follow-ups).
Tests: test/grok-mode.test.ts, test/grok-cli-resolver.test.ts, plus
extended clamp/system-routes/render-index-html/run-mode-ui/mobile-overview/
local-echo-gating coverage. npm test (the CI gate) green: 5910 tests.

Three post-merge fixes for the external-CLI response viewer:
- ?context=full blocks now carry role ('user' for prompts, 'assistant'
for response/status/tool). The frontend's loadFullContext() renders
via msg.role, so the roleless blocks lost the "You" badge and every
turn rendered as the agent. kind/label/text are unchanged and the
frontend needs no change.
- normalizeDividerStatusLine() dropped its backtracking regex
(/^[─-]+\s*(.+?)\s*[─-]{3,}$/): the lazy middle went catastrophic on
a long dash run without a 3-dash tail (measured 15.5s at 4,000 chars,
minutes at 10,000), and pane text is agent-controlled with buffers up
to 32MB. Replaced by a linear counter walk with the identical accept
set and captured content, pinned char-for-char against the old regex
by a brute-force corpus test plus a hostile-input regression test
that fails by timeout with the RegExp version (same approach as the
glob-matcher hardening in 68ae9a8).
- 'pi' joins EXTERNAL_CLI_MODES: pi sessions had the identical
empty-viewer symptom the transcript branch exists to fix. The list
stays a local duplicate of isExternalCliMode() (importing session.ts
would drag node-pty into the pure module); a new exhaustive parity
test asserts the two mode sets can no longer drift.

`GET /api/sessions/:id/last-response` branches to a Codex-specific reader, then
falls through to scanning `~/.claude/projects` for a transcript. OpenCode, Gemini
and Antigravity render their own TUIs and never write one, so that scan finds
nothing and the response viewer is permanently empty for all three modes.
For these CLIs the pane IS the transcript, so segment it. `response-viewer-transcript.ts`
is a pure, dependency-free parser that splits a terminal buffer into prompt /
response / status / tool blocks, keying off the `›` prompt marker, status
dividers and `• Calling|Called` tool-activity lines. The route uses it to answer
with the LAST response, and to carry the parsed blocks under `?context=full`.
Codex keeps its existing branch: it has real rollout files, which are a better
source than scraped pane text.
The response shape is unchanged for every other mode, and Claude panes are
explicitly pinned to the Claude transcript path so a real transcript can never
be shadowed by scraped text.
Tests: 14 parser cases plus a route suite covering all three modes, the
`?context=full` payload, an empty pane, and the Claude regression guard.
