Grok driver sends invalid modelId to Grok's ACP — session/set_model fails with unknown model id #7791

Description

@NixBit404

Description

When a user selects the Grok provider in T3 and sends a message, the session start fails with Error: Invalid params at decodeJsonError. The actual error from Grok's ACP is unknown model id.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Grok Build CLI: curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
  2. Add Grok to T3's ~/.t3/userdata/settings.json:
    {
      "providerInstances": {
        "grok": {
          "driver": "grok",
          "enabled": true,
          "config": {
            "enabled": true,
            "binaryPath": "grok",
            "customModels": []
          }
        }
      }
    }
  3. Open T3 chat, set provider to Grok, send a message

Expected behavior

Grok responds with chat output.

Actual behavior

T3 shows Error: Invalid params at decodeJsonError (file:///.../apps/server/dist/bin.mjs:90812:59).

Root cause

T3's MODEL_SLUG_ALIASES_BY_PROVIDER map (line 988 of apps/server/dist/bin.mjs) has no entry for [GROK_DRIVER_KIND]. The driver falls back to the hardcoded "grok-build" slug, but Grok's ACP only accepts grok-4.6 and grok-4.5.

Verified via direct ACP probe against grok agent stdio:

modelId sent Grok response
"grok-build" error: unknown model id
"grok-4.6" ✅ Success
"grok-4.5" ✅ Success
"grok-4", "grok-3", "grok-2" unknown model id
"grok-build-plan" unknown model id (this is the agentType in metadata, not a modelId)

Suggested fix

Add an alias entry to MODEL_SLUG_ALIASES_BY_PROVIDER:

[GROK_DRIVER_KIND]: {
    "grok-build": "grok-4.6"  // or "grok-4.5" — both are valid
}

Workaround (for users)

Add customModels: ["grok-4.6"] to the Grok provider config in settings.json. Then pick "grok-4.6" in the SPA model picker. The default "Grok Build" option still fails.
