Live verification (opencode 1.17.8 + grok-build-0.1, funded key) showed the Grok
runtime was loading INERT, three ways:
1. The provider override `provider.xai.npm=@ai-sdk/openai` failed model
resolution (ProviderModelNotFoundError) — opencode can't resolve that package
from its module path. Worse, ANY custom `provider.xai` block (even just
options) breaks plugin-tool registration. opencode's BUILT-IN xai provider
drives grok-build-0.1 with working tool-calls, so emit NO provider block; the
key + base reach it via XAI_API_KEY / XAI_BASE_URL env (provider.options.apiKey
alone does NOT authenticate).
2. Plugins referenced by absolute path in the config `plugin:` array never
registered their hooks/tools. opencode 1.17.8 only registers from the plugin
AUTO-DISCOVERY dir (~/.config/opencode/plugin/). Bake all plugins there.
3. Plugins must use a NAMED export, not `export default`.
Changes:
- opencode_config: no `provider` block, no `plugin` array; drop the dead
XaiTarget + timeout machinery; build_opencode_config now takes a model string.
- GrokProvider / orchestrator interactive env: inject XAI_API_KEY + XAI_BASE_URL
(drop the now-unused OPENAI_*).
- secret-scrub / budget-feed / secretary-tools / intake-tools: named exports;
baked into /home/agent/.config/opencode/plugin/ (drop the EXTRA_PLUGINS env).
- agent-grok* Dockerfiles: plugin dir + agent ownership; drop the unneeded
@ai-sdk/openai global install.
Verified live end-to-end: grok-build-0.1 calls read_company_state AND
submit_directive through secretary-tools.js and the backend receives both with
the agent token; a tool.execute.before guard fires; built-in tool-calls work.
Targeted gate green (ruff/mypy/xenon + opencode_config/providers/interactive
tests; node --check the plugins).
Grok wrote ONE global permission block, so a Grok pr_reviewer (or qa / PM /
auditor) ran with edit=allow + bash=allow on untrusted PR content. Now the
permissions are derived per role, mirroring orchestrator._get_role_permissions
on the Claude path:
- edit — allow only roles that write code (role_config.allows_write:
developer / documenter); everyone else edit=deny.
- bash — allow only roles that legitimately run a shell (developer /
documenter / cell_pm / main_pm); the read-only reviewers (qa / pr_reviewer /
auditor) and the board get bash=deny. secret-scrub still guards the rest.
- external_directory — only the pr_reviewer reads scratch outside its cwd (the
/tmp diff); delivery roles get deny.
One-shot roles resolve these in GrokProvider._append_grok_env; the interactive
intake/secretary set edit=deny + bash=deny in the orchestrator (intake keeps
external-dir reads for sibling product repos, the secretary does not). The
Claude path is untouched — the permission env is a GROK-only contract.
Targeted gate green (ruff/mypy/xenon + provider + interactive-spawn tests).
Found by actually running opencode serve locally (the path was doc-verified but
never executed). Three fixes:
1. EACCES on the opencode store mount (the live intake crash): on Linux docker
auto-creates a missing bind source as root:root, so the non-root agent user
could not mkdir/write in /home/agent/.local/share/opencode and opencode died
at boot. _ensure_opencode_data_dir pre-creates the per-agent dir 0777 before
the mount (one-shot via the _GrokHost seam, interactive in both spawns).
2. Silent blank reply on a model error: opencode reports a turn failure in
info.error with parts=[], NOT as a part — verified live (a bad xAI key
returns info.error APIError). send() / normalize_opencode_message now surface
it as an "error" StreamChunk so a failed turn is never blank (the original
intake bug class). Confirmed live: the error now renders.
3. Reasoning variant on the serve path: the live OpenAPI shows the message body
accepts a "variant" field (it is NOT CLI-only, as the docs implied), so the
pin is unblocked. send() passes ROBOCO_GROK_VARIANT as the per-turn variant;
the orchestrator sets it per-role (_reasoning_effort_for) for interactive
Grok, the same lever as the one-shot --variant.
opencode serve startup, POST /session, session-id extraction, the part-type
mapping (text/reasoning/tool), and the error path are all validated against a
live opencode 1.17.8. A real successful grok reply still needs a funded key.
The CI mypy scope (roboco/ tests/) flagged test-only typing issues my per-file
runs missed: direct method assignment (orch._remove_container = AsyncMock())
trips [method-assign], and a module-level dict[str,str] is invariant against
the dict[str, str|None] the run-spec expects.
- Use monkeypatch.setattr for _remove_container in the watchdog tests.
- Annotate the shared _HOSTS as dict[str, str | None].
Production code unchanged; mypy roboco/ tests/ is green.
Wire the GROK interactive path the in-place way (matching how the interactive
roles already choose ANTHROPIC_* per route), so a GROK route launches the
Grok-native opencode-serve image instead of the Claude SDK-driver image:
- _spawn_intake_container / _spawn_secretary_container pick the
grok-prompter / grok-secretary image (ensuring the base→grok→interactive
build chain) when the route is GROK, and stamp provider_type on the spec +
AgentConfig so finalize routes usage to the opencode store.
- _build_intake_run_cmd / _build_secretary_run_cmd inject OPENAI_* + the
opencode store mount + system-prompt env for GROK via a shared
_append_interactive_provider_env, keeping ANTHROPIC_* for every other
provider. The intake's minimal mounts (no gateway MCP) are preserved, so
Grok intake matches the Claude intake's tool surface (the spec).
- Add a per-agent opencode store mount to the interactive host paths so
interactive Grok usage/cost is captured like the one-shot path.
Removes the interim Phase-0 routing guard (the real path supersedes it) and
retires the unused AgentProvider.spawn_interactive/InteractiveSpawnSpec seam —
the interactive roles have a bespoke assembly that the one-shot provider
surface doesn't fit, so the fork lives in their own builders.
UNVERIFIED-LIVE: end-to-end intake/secretary chat on Grok needs the stack up +
opencode serve confirmed against grok-build-0.1.
