summary: "New environment variables in the Grok Build v1.0.5 update enable launchers to override settings through the command line rather than modifying the internal config.toml file. xAI's release on August 15 also introduces automatic reclamation of worktrees in the ~/.grok/worktrees directory and limits on model calls during media generation to prevent system overload. The update includes correct terminal UI text reordering for Arabic and Persian and updated session titles that provide a recap and last turn summary upon resumption. Additional bug fixes resolve home directory issues on Windows for agent skill discovery and stop session failures occurring when /dev/null is removed during tool calls."
