2026-09-21-grok-build-public-changelog-is-a-curated-lagging-subset-the-in-tree-notes-are-the-fuller-record

Public changelog is a curated, lagging subset; the in-tree notes are the fuller record. The contract names x.ai/build/changelog as the dated operator channel. In this window it trailed builds by at least 9 days and dropped a permission-default line.

Channel: docs-only. Half: defect. Date: window.

Operator consequence: Read crates/codegen/xai-grok-shell/changelogs/<version>.md at a pinned sync for what a version changed, not the web page. For 1.0.9 specifically, the default mode flip to auto and back happened inside one release; if you installed 1.0.9, check that new sessions start in ask. 1.0.11 made the default mode configurable (“Default permission mode for new interactive sessions is now configurable”).
