Pin Grok ACP stdio to the picked local model - #271
Conversation
Grok 1.0.6 only applies agent flags between `agent` and `stdio`. `grok -m omlx-slug agent stdio` is accepted as a TUI option and then ignored, so session/new keeps [models].default (grok-4.6) and oMLX never loads. Qwen/Hermes/Codex/Claude already bind the host in env or settings; Grok's only bind is this -m slug.
-m after agent is not enough: session/new still starts on [models].default, so initialize reports grok-4.6 even when oMLX was picked. Set the slug over the wire (same as Hermes/Droid) and report that model on session.started.

The remaining issues are limited to configuration-path wording and stronger regression assertions, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Use an environment-neutral config path in the error.
resolveTurnModel writes through grokHome(env), which can use GROK_HOME, HOME, or USERPROFILE. Line 238 always directs the user to ~/.grok/config.toml. Use “the configured Grok config.toml” instead.

Reviewed against current main. The Grok ACP argv ordering, resolved local-model slug, and session/set_model pinning address the silent fallback to the default model. Cross-platform CI is green; local typecheck, the full test suite, and packaged-server smoke test pass. The cancelled packaging job was an unrelated Ubuntu apt-mirror timeout before project build code ran.
What changed
Grok ACP stdio now actually runs the model picked in the UI.

Grok 1.0.6 only applies agent flags in that window;grok -m slug agent stdiois accepted as a TUI option and then ignored.session/new, pin the slug withsession/set_model(same path Hermes/Droid use).-mon argv is not enough:session/newstill starts on[models].default.omlx::…) throughresolveTurnModelagainst the instance HOME, then pass that slug on argv.spawnArgsmust not callensureGrokInjectSlugitself — that helper defaults toprocess.envand would miss the instance override.session.startedreports the slug we set, notinitialize'scurrentModelId(grok-4.6).Why
Picking an oMLX / local model on a Grok bot still billed and ran
grok-4.6. The picker wrote a[model.slug]block, but ACP never bound it.How it was verified

None. Server-only; the existing model chip now shows the slug that actually ran.
