What xAI's Grok Build CLI Actually Sends to xAI: A Wire-Level Analysis

By @cereblab — Independent AI Safety Checker. Reproduce it yourself: github.com/cereblab/grok-build-exfil-repro

A measured, reproducible teardown. Findings are backed by captured artifacts (endpoint, HTTP method, status code, byte size, host) and repro commands; where an observation was seen live but not retained as a file, §7 says so explicitly. Section 8 is an evidence appendix with SHA-256s and a "what we did not prove" list. All captures are of my own traffic on my own machine, using a throwaway repository containing fake "canary" secrets — no real credentials were exposed.
