Grok/xAI: small in-window moves; the subscription login predates the window. OpenClaw’s primary record shows no new Grok integration or Grok-specific distribution change in the window. It shows usage display for SuperGrok accounts, OAuth catalog continuity, and Grok added as a target for the triage-handoff workflow. Running OpenClaw on a SuperGrok subscription without an API key has been possible since 2026.5.17. v2026.9.5 also makes the macOS app default to the web experience (#148808 et al.). That is the nearest primary item to a “MacBook simplicity” framing, and it is not Grok-specific.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: capability. Date: 2026-09-03, 2026-09-08, 2026-09-19.

Operator consequence: Ignore for the approval story. If the Writing lane uses the Latent Space piece, the primary anchor is “subscription OAuth since May, usage display since 2026.9.1”, not a new integration.
