## Grok Build 1.0.46

- `grok inspect` and the MCP doctor report MCP server sources correctly

- Client rules supplied at session start are preserved when the system prompt is rebuilt later
- Permission rules with relative paths apply even when the working directory contains symlinks

- Video cards open the file in the default player on Enter when the terminal has no inline playback, and no longer get stuck extracting posters without ffmpeg
