ash fe03fed004 scripts: Parse update feed with python3 if jq is missing
Jumpboxes may lack jq; requiring it made the documented manual path
fail closed for the wrong reason. Keep python3 as the rewrite tool
and the feed parser fallback, and fail loudly when neither parser
nor curl/sha256sum is present. Reject tiny/non-deb downloads so a
failed fetch cannot look like a successful bump.

# grok-bot-bin
Unofficial Arch / CachyOS package of the official [Grok Bot](https://cursor.com/download/bot) `.deb`. Temporary until upstream packages for Arch.
Not affiliated with Cursor / SpaceXAI. The app binary is unchanged; this only repacks it for `pacman`.
## Install (build locally)
This tree packages **0.36.0** (`pkgver` / `pkgrel=1` in `PKGBUILD`). `makepkg -si` from git tip builds that version even before a release tag exists.
```bash
git clone https://git.s1d3sw1ped.com/s1d3sw1ped/grok-bot-bin.git
cd grok-bot-bin
makepkg -si
```
With an AUR helper against this git URL:
```bash
paru -S grok-bot-bin --aururl https://git.s1d3sw1ped.com
# or:
yay -S grok-bot-bin # after cloning locally / using a custom AUR mirror
```
Simplest reliable path on CachyOS today:
```bash
makepkg -si
```
## Install from a release package
`pacman -U` installs whatever `.pkg.tar.zst` is attached on [Releases](https://git.s1d3sw1ped.com/s1d3sw1ped/grok-bot-bin/releases), which lags git tip until someone **tags** the bump (see Updating). After `v0.36.0` is pushed, CI (`build.yml`) attaches `grok-bot-bin-0.36.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst`. Until that asset exists, use `makepkg -si` for 0.36.0; the newest published asset may still be `v0.35.0-2`.
```bash
curl -LO 'https://git.s1d3sw1ped.com/s1d3sw1ped/grok-bot-bin/releases/download/v0.36.0/grok-bot-bin-0.36.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst'
sudo pacman -U grok-bot-bin-0.36.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
```
Download first, then `pacman -U` the local file (`LocalFileSigLevel = Optional`). Do not pass the remote URL straight to pacman if signatures are required.
## Custom pacman repo (optional)
After CI publishes a repo database under Releases (or Packages), add to `/etc/pacman.conf`:
```ini
[grok-bot]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://git.s1d3sw1ped.com/s1d3sw1ped/grok-bot-bin/releases/latest/download
```
Exact `Server=` URL may change once the first repo DB lands; `makepkg -si` works regardless.
## Updating
Stay-current path when Cursor's linux-x64 Grok Bot feed moves. `PKGBUILD` is currently **0.36.0** (pkgrel 1). One updater: `./scripts/update.sh`.
### Scheduled bump (Gitea Actions)
`.gitea/workflows/update.yml` runs daily (`cron: '17 6 * * *'`) and on `workflow_dispatch`. It:
1. Runs `./scripts/update.sh` against the live Cursor linux-x64 feed.
2. If `pkgver` changed, commits `PKGBUILD` and `.SRCINFO`.
3. Tags `v$pkgver` (an upstream bump resets `pkgrel` to 1, so 0.36.0 → tag `v0.36.0`).
4. Pushes the branch and tag.
The tag triggers `.gitea/workflows/build.yml`, which builds the Arch package and attaches `grok-bot-bin-$pkgver-$pkgrel-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst` to the Gitea release.
Actions **can** push and tag on this forge. [Run 1190](https://git.s1d3sw1ped.com/s1d3sw1ped/grok-bot-bin/actions/runs/1190) (schedule on `master`) bumped 0.30.0 → 0.35.0 and pushed `master` plus tag `v0.35.0`.
If the script cannot parse the feed, the `.deb` download fails, or `curl` / `python3` / `sha256sum` is missing, the job fails (it is not a silent “up to date”). `jq` is optional; without it the script parses the feed with `python3`. The workflow still `apt-get install`s `jq` for the run. A no-op is only “already at this `pkgver`”.
Scheduled jobs run on the default branch (`master`). Product PRs land on `develop`; promote or run the manual path below if `develop` is ahead of `master`.
### Manual force path
When you do not want to wait for cron, or you are landing a bump on `develop`:
```bash
# requires curl, python3, sha256sum; jq optional
./scripts/update.sh
```
If the feed is newer, that rewrites `PKGBUILD` and `.SRCINFO`. Then commit, tag, and push (or open a PR into `develop`):
```bash
git add PKGBUILD .SRCINFO
git commit -m "pkgbuild: Bump grok-bot-bin to <pkgver>"
git push origin HEAD:develop # or open a PR into develop
# After it should cut a release:
git tag "v<pkgver>" # e.g. v0.36.0
git push origin "v<pkgver>"
makepkg -si # install from this tree without waiting for the release asset
```
Install the new version with `makepkg -si`, or (once CI publishes the asset) `pacman -U` from Releases as in the example above.
## Notes
- `/usr/bin/grok-bot` (and `sand`) is a launch shim: unless `GROK_BOT_NO_UPDATE=1`, it checks the latest Gitea release and may `pacman -U` a newer `.pkg.tar.zst` before exec'ing `/opt/Grok Bot/…`. Network/API failures still launch the installed binary.
- If the app menu still launches an old binary without updating, run `/usr/bin/grok-bot` once from a terminal, or `sudo pacman -U` the newer `.pkg.tar.zst` from Releases — the menu must call the PATH shim, not `/opt/Grok Bot/…`.
- Upstream Linux builds still have no in-app updater for the Electron app itself; `scripts/update.sh` (cron or manual) is the packaging bump from Cursor's feed.
- `chrome-sandbox` is left non-setuid because the install path contains a space; user namespaces cover sandboxing on CachyOS.
