+ ## Added
6
+ - **Grok Build harness support.** `tt install grok` now installs the native `~/.grok/skills/talking-stick` skill and a trusted global `~/.grok/hooks/talking-stick-session.json` hook. Grok-launched `tt` calls work without cmux by detecting a `grok` root process in ancestry; `CMUX_AGENT_LAUNCH_KIND=grok` remains optional fast evidence when present. The hook records `GROK_SESSION_ID` context in `${TALKING_STICK_DATA_DIR}/grok-sessions.jsonl` so identity can upgrade from pid-root identity to the real Grok session id when the record matches the workspace and harness process.

+ ## Fixed
6
+ - **Home-level workspace markers no longer capture scratch directories.** `resolveContextPath` now treats the user's home directory as a marker boundary for descendant paths, so an incidental `~/package.json`, `~/AGENTS.md`, or similar marker does not make unrelated markerless paths under `$HOME` join a home-scoped room. Explicitly joining `$HOME` still resolves to home, and real project markers below home still win.
