Update — 2026-07-14: This is the original wire-level analysis (grok 0.2.93). Since publishing: xAI disabled the upload server-side (disable_codebase_upload: true); added a /privacy opt-out — which I wire-tested and found to be a data-retention setting, not a block on what's sent; and Elon Musk publicly committed to deleting all previously-uploaded data (not yet confirmed complete).

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 expli

Do not use forEach with async-await

TLDR: Use for...of instead of forEach() in asynchronous code.

For legacy browsers, use for(...;...;...) or [].reduce()

To execute the promises in parallel, use Promise.all([].map(...))

The problem

Go has excellent build tools that mitigate the need for using make. For example, go install won't update the target unless it's older than the source files.

However, a Makefile can be convenient for wrapping Go commands with specific build targets that simplify usage on the command line. Since most of the targets are "phony", it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons of having a dependency on make versus using a shell script. For the simplicity of being able to specify targets that can be chained and can take advantage of make's chained targets,
