Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Grok Bot
Describe the Bug
Since Oct 26, 2026 around 20:01 UTC, every browser tool and Screenshot on my Grok Bot computer fails immediately with: “The box could not confirm that no saved credential is being filled into its browser, so this tool did not run. Retry in a few seconds.”
Shell and file reads still work (commands answer in milliseconds), internet works, disk is healthy (11% inodes). Only the browser and screenshots are blocked, so my browser-based routines have stopped.
Diagnostics:
- /tmp/sand-host.log is 0 bytes, last modified Oct 26 20:01 UTC
- /tmp/sand-supervisor/status.json does not exist
- /tmp/sand-copy-in-status.json: {“phase”:“failed”,“restored”:0,“total”:0,“bytes”:0,“outcome”:“failed”,“errorClass”:“entrypoint-no-terminal-status”,“exitCode”:1}
- box-doctor: Chrome, network, clock and display PASS; x11vnc and noVNC on :1 FAIL
Same issue as topics 176355 and 176385 (background host service never started).
Steps to Reproduce
- Ask any bot to take a screenshot or open a website: fails right away with the “saved credential” error.
- Ask a bot to run “echo ok” in Shell: works fine.
- Settings > Update Bot’s Computer: completes, nothing changes.
Expected Behavior
Browser tools and Screenshots work again, or my computer is moved to a fresh working instance.
Operating System

Additional Information
On Oct 26 the root filesystem ran out of inodes (a folder with ~1.9M files). We deleted it and inodes are now at 11%, but the browser block started around then and never cleared.
I have backed up everything I need from this computer (all files, including everything written through Shell). Could you please move me to a fresh computer, keeping my bots, chats and routines? Thank you!
Does this stop you from using Cursor
