add grok tool: direct native-binary download from x.ai#285
Merged
Conversation
Grok Build (xAI's coding agent) ships as a static-pie native binary, so gg downloads and execs it directly instead of going through the @xai-official/grok npm wrapper (which would drag in a Node.js runtime just to shell out to npm). Same source as x.ai/cli/install.sh, with the x.ai -> GCS host fallback. Resolves latest via the stable channel file; honors an exact [email protected] pin via the deterministic artifact URL even when the channel probe is down. Binary is renamed to a canonical grok[.exe] in post_prep so it resolves across runs.
