Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Grok Bot
Describe the Bug
Grok Bot 0.20.0 Stable on Windows 11 cannot use ExternalRead on the local PC. The app and local-exec-daemon run, permission is Always allow, but the daemon drops responses after 3 failed POSTs (http_404). Reset and official reinstall did not fix it. Update Grok Bot’s Computer stays grey because an agent stays Working.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Grok Bot 0.20.0 Stable on Windows 11. Set Execution on Local Computer to Always allow.
- Ask a Bot to ExternalRead a local file (not Read/Shell, not Grok Bot’s Computer, not Cursor Cloud).
- Watch %USERPROFILE%.grokbot\local-exec-daemon.log. Responses are dropped: Error (http_404). inflightCount stays 0 if the Bot only says it is testing.
- Tell the Bot to stop all agents. One stays Working. Agent Computer shows no approval.
- Settings → Updates: Update Grok Bot’s Computer stays grey. Reset, then reinstall from cursor.com/bot/onboarding. ExternalRead still fails.
Expected Behavior
ExternalRead returns the real local file and host id MARIA. A live daemon does not 404-drop responses. After agents stop, Working clears and Update Grok Bot’s Computer is enabled. Stale sessions repair without Reset. Reinstall is not required for a bridge bind failure.
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Version Information
Grok Bot 0.20.0 Stable on Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200 (hostname MARIA)
For AI issues: which model did you use?
Grok Bot built-in agents (Chief of Staff). Not a Cursor IDE model picker issue.
Additional Information
Hostname MARIA. localToolPermission=always. Live daemon log after Reset/reinstall: 24 starts, 8 http_404, 1 TypeError, 2 desktop-ownership-lost. inflightCount stays 0 during “Testing now”. Docs say Settings → Beta; 0.20.0 UI is Settings → Updates. I can attach a sanitized daemon log. No tokens, VNC URLs, or credential files.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
