Drop legacy managed MCP configs and shadowed platform skills in Grok CLI
Grok CLI 8a14c91 removes the legacy managed MCP configs client from shell/pager and deletes stale extracted platform skills that shadow bundled ones, plus faster /resume, worktree flag keep, and skill-path hints on failed reads.Why this loop
Grok CLI 8a14c91 is a breaking mcp/cli sync. It removes the legacy managed MCP configs client from shell and pager, so any wrapper still loading MCP that way will fail. It also removes stale extracted platform skills that shadowed bundled skills, so the bundled copies win. Same commit keeps the standalone worktree flag across cwd switch and resume, detects standalone grok worktrees for branch display, speeds up local /resume on large session transcripts, and suggests registered skill paths on failed reads. Process lifetime is stricter: a requested quit always exits, subagents drain before session delete, .envrc evaluation is bounded so a blocked read cannot freeze session load, and the tools server is protected from the OOM killer with kill attribution.
Proposed actions
- Pin Grok CLI to 8a14c91 (https://github.com/xai-org/grok-build/commit/8a14c91d88875a831a38b3a066b1683116bcb31c). Search the workspace for any remaining use of the legacy managed MCP configs client in shell or pager and delete those call sites—the client is gone.
- Find extracted platform skill copies that duplicate bundled skills and delete those stale extracted files so they no longer shadow bundled skills.
- Point large-transcript resume at local /resume. Persist the standalone worktree flag across cwd switch and resume, and use standalone grok worktree detection for branch display.
- On failed skill reads, use the registered skill path the CLI now suggests. Drain subagents before session delete. Treat a requested quit as process exit—it always exits.
- Bound .envrc evaluation during session load so a blocked read cannot freeze startup; expect the tools server to be protected from the OOM killer with OOM kills attributed.
