💭 I'm checking the current code against past conventions, confirming that previously flagged issues—the Date.now() usage, the permission wrapper naming, the rewind failure detail, and the auth failure text matching—have all been properly addressed. I'm now scanning the new files for fresh violations. The workflow-related files look pure, but GrokProvider.ts catches my attention: it reads workflow slash commands synchronously via node:fs inside provider snapshot construction, which could conflict with the convention against hiding imperative filesystem calls inside service-building code, so I want to check whether there's existing precedent in the codebase for this pattern. I'm also noticing buildGrokServerProvider defaults its environment param to process.env while still calling process.cwd() directly instead of going through that parameter, which seems inconsistent. I want to compare this against how the Claude and Codex providers handle reading their slash commands to see if there's an established convention I should follow.

1. browse_code — apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokProvider.ts

2. browse_code — apps/server/src/provider/acp/GrokWorkflowCommands.ts

💭 I'm noticing this is synchronous filesystem I/O happening inside an Effect-producing snapshot path, which conflicts with the convention against hiding dependencies in imperative helpers—asynchronous services need to be represented properly in the Effect environment rather than buried in a supposedly pure helper called from within the Effect. gen flow. I want to check how other providers like Claude or Codex handle slash commands to see if they use a proper FileSystem service, which would make this inconsistency worth flagging.

3. git_tools — slashCommands

4. git_tools — readdirSync|readFileSync|statSync

💭 I recall EventNdjsonLogger.ts already uses synchronous filesystem reads elsewhere in the server code, and this file also relies on process.cwd() and process.env defaults, so this pattern is consistent with existing conventions and not worth flagging. I'll move on to check the changes in GrokAdapter.ts next. Looking at the imports, using Clock and Semaphore from Effect looks fine, so I'm examining the newly added code sections. The new closure-based mutable state for session notifications is local per-session rather than a hidden module-level dependency, and since GrokSessionContext already uses mutable maps this pattern seems acceptable. I'm also checking the new error handling around provider rewind failures, where the detail now includes a bounded, clipped provider error string alongside the cause, which matches the earlier feedback asking for a stable bounded string plus cause. Reflagging that same detail-string concern would be duplicative since they've already addressed it, so I'll move on to verifying isGrokAcpAuthFailure uses the schema-based check correctly, which it does. Now I'm scanning for any remaining potential issues in the new code. I want to check the touched files for any effect-related import or catchTag patterns that might diverge from conventions, and confirm the new session runtime and adapter files import their dependencies consistently — like checking whether Semaphore is imported properly in the Grok adapter.

5. git_tools — from "effect"|catchTag(|catchIf(|ManagedRuntime|runPromise

6. browse_code — apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.ts

💭 I'm noting that the GrokAdapter service's Shape import predates this PR, so it's a pre-existing convention deviation not worth flagging here, especially given the repo's established Services/Layers split. Now I'm turning to check the import in GrokAcpSessionExtras.ts. Looking at the pending notification handling and closure-based mutable state in GrokAdapter, along with the semaphore-guarded array mutation—these don't map to any listed convention, so they seem fine. I'm also weighing a few other potential issues: type-safety casts on provider runtime events, new error constructions, and a snapshot builder that does synchronous filesystem work inside an effect-producing function—but I find precedent for that pattern elsewhere in the codebase, so it's not a real concern. Turning to GrokAcpSupport, I check that a helper function correctly narrows its runtime parameter using the Service type, and note that since it's a plain helper (not a service constructor) receiving a per-session runtime from the adapter, this matches existing precedent from a similar model-selection helper. I also verify that a new optional metadata field added to the session runtime interface is properly declared inline within the Context.Service definition. Now I want to confirm how it imports AcpSessionRuntime and whether it uses namespace-style imports correctly, plus check if any new code pulls named imports from "effect" that shouldn't be there — I'll look at the top of the file to verify.

7. browse_code — apps/server/src/provider/acp/GrokAcpSupport.ts

8. browse_code — apps/server/src/provider/acp/GrokAcpSupport.ts

💭 I'm noticing that this private isAcpRequestError schema predicate is being wrapped by a redundant function with an identical signature, which violates the convention of exporting schema predicates directly. Now I want to look more closely at the rest of GrokAdapter's new code, specifically cancelActivePromptsBeforeRewind, rollbackThread, and how the notification pending queue is handled, so I'll check lines 1850-2000.

9. browse_code — apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokAdapter.ts

💭 I'm checking the ProviderAdapterRequestError definition to see if cause is typed properly—line 1973 spreads cause as a raw wire string rather than an actual error object, which seems to violate the convention against manufacturing errors just to populate cause. Actually, they do preserve the raw value as cause while bounding the normalized text in detail, which mostly satisfies my earlier concern. The 240-character grokRewindFailureDetail bound addresses what I flagged before, so re-flagging it now would just be a duplicate.

10. git_tools — ProviderAdapterRequestError|cause

💭 I'm checking that GrokAdapter's new emit functions look fine, and verifying the GrokAcpSessionExtras import path for grokCompleteCostUsd is legitimate. Now I'm checking whether any new code introduces a trivial helper that just wraps error construction, which would violate the pattern guideline. Effect.catchTags isn't used for the new tagged failures, but Effect.ignore/exit/result are, which seems fine. I'm now tracing whether buildGrokServerProvider's synchronous filesystem reads inside readGrokWorkflowSlashCommands hide imperative I/O behind what should be an Effect boundary, checking against the convention that disallows hiding async dependencies in closures or globals, and looking at whether the repo's existing FileSystem service or NodeServices layer should be used instead. There's precedent elsewhere in the codebase (EventNdjsonLogger, ClaudeExecutable) for sync FS calls in production code, so flagging this might be out of scope. But I'm noticing something more concerning: buildGrokServerProvider also reads process.env and process.cwd() directly, and it looks like callers may never actually pass the environment parameter through to it at all. Looking closer, checkGrokProviderStatus receives an environment argument, but every internal call to buildGrokServerProvider omits it, silently falling back to process.env. That defeats the whole point of threading environment through for testability, and I want to check whether the newly added test — which passes a custom HOME override — actually verifies this path or if it would silently pass despite the bug.

11. browse_code — apps/server/src/provider/Layers/GrokProvider.test.ts

💭 Confirmed: the test isolates the environment when calling checkGrokProviderStatus, but buildGrokServerProvider doesn't receive that same environment, so slash-command discovery ends up reading the ambient process.env.HOME and process.cwd() instead of the injected values. That's a real bug — an injected config value gets silently overridden by a global. I also notice synchronous filesystem I/O happening inside what's otherwise an Effect-returning provider builder, when it should likely be using the FileSystem service via Effect since that's available in this context. There's some precedent elsewhere in the repo for sync FS calls, but here the module is already Effect-based and has access to the service, so this seems like the stronger convention violation worth flagging alongside the environment threading issue. I'm settling on one combined inline comment on GrokProvider.ts covering the ambient process.env/process.cwd usage that bypasses the injected environment, plus a brief mention that using the FileSystem service would be more idiomatic — though I'll keep the primary focus on the concrete environment-injection defect since the instructions call for reporting only concrete violations. Now I want to check UsageService.ts, which also references GROK_HOME via process.env inside an Effect.gen block, to see if there's existing precedent nearby for how claude/codex home paths are handled in that same file.

12. browse_code — apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.ts

💭 I'm noticing the new line reads GROK_HOME directly from process.env inside an Effect service, whereas resolveClaudeHomePath and resolveCodexHomeLayout seem to resolve home paths differently. I want to check how the claude/codex implementations handle env resolution to see if they go through a service instead of raw process.env access.

13. git_tools — export const resolveClaudeHomePath|export function resolveClaudeHomePath|CODEX_HOME|CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR

💭 I notice UsageService reads process.env directly at line 221 — let me check if there's existing precedent for that pattern elsewhere in the file.

14. git_tools — process.env

💭 I notice this is the only spot in the usage module reading process.env directly, since Claude/Codex home paths normally come through settings via Effect helpers. I want to check whether Grok settings have an equivalent homePath field, and look at how the rest of the server codebase handles environment variable access to see if there's a standard Config/Env service I should be using instead.

15. git_tools — process.env.

💭 Since process.env reads already exist elsewhere in production code, that's not a real convention violation, so I'll drop that angle. The real issue is that buildGrokServerProvider ignores the caller-supplied environment and defaults to process.env while using process.cwd(), meaning the isolated test environment never actually reaches the workflow. The concrete violation is that this parameter is silently unused by every caller, effectively hiding a dependency in a module global rather than threading it through explicitly like the rest of the service does. I'll also mention as a secondary note that the filesystem read happens synchronously inside an Effect context, and suggest using FileSystem for testability. Now I'm locating the exact line to anchor the comment on — the new function spans lines 49-62 in the diff, so I'll place the note on line 59 where homeDir: environ... appears. I decide against a diff suggestion since fixing this properly would require touching every call site, so I'll describe the fix in prose instead of providing a patch. Let me finalize the comment text concisely, then move on to check GrokAdapter's session notification logic for any other findings. Scanning further, the queue-changed notification schema and the mobile/web app changes look trivial and fine. With just this one finding about hidden ambient dependencies via process.env/process.cwd(), I need to decide whether it rises to the level of a real convention violation worth failing the check over, weighing it against the guidance that a clear violation may fail the build. Since checkGrokProviderStatus always has an environment param to thread through and the new test's HOME isolation confirms this was an intentional design consideration being bypassed, I'm confident this is a genuine finding — I'll post it as a review comment and set the check to failure state.

Earlier findings (Date.now() in the tool-update gate, the redundant selectPermissionOptionId wrapper, unbounded rewind detail, and the string-matched auth-failure classifier) are resolved in this head.
