fix(web): "Use T3 Code in another app" opens the Grok Bot app - #33663
In Use T3 Code in another app (MCP), the Grok Bot button copied the setup message and then opened https://x.ai/bot, a web page. The message has to go into the Grok Bot app.
Fix
App link first: Grok Bot gets an appLink of grokbot://app, the bare launch link. Grok Bot prompt links (grokbot://app/v1/prompt?id=…) need a bot ID we don't have, so the button only opens the app. The message is already on the clipboard.
Desktop: opens the app link and falls back to x.ai/bot if it can't. ElectronShell.parseSafeExternalUrl allows exactly grokbot://app, not the scheme, so links in agent output can't use the desktop app to prefill Grok Bot prompts.
Browser: opens the app link in place, since a new tab for it would stay blank. A browser can't tell whether an app opened, so the copy toast's action becomes "Open Grok Bot on the web".
Every other app keeps its https link.
Testing
Desktop:ElectronShell opens grokbot://app and refuses a prompt link and a bare grokbot://.
Web: the app list test pins the only allowed app link.
Manually: on a Mac with Grok Bot installed, both grokbot:// and grokbot://app opened the app from the browser.
Model and harness: Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code.
The Grok Bot button copied the setup message and opened x.ai/bot, a web
page, even though the message goes into the Grok Bot app. It now opens
the app with its bare grokbot://app link, falling back to x.ai/bot when
the desktop app cannot open it; in a browser, the copy toast keeps a link
to the web page. The desktop app allows exactly that launch link, not
Grok Bot prompt links.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The Grok Bot setup button now launches the installed app instead of opening the website, with a web alternative retained. A human must confirm this change to the existing action’s default destination.

Grok Bot plans a link that prefills a message; the wizard can then pass it
without another change to how the handoff works.

The Grok Bot handoff now includes an app-specific deep link. After a successful copy, the dialog opens that link. The Electron shell accepts the exact grokbot://app URL.

Summary
App-link contract and handoff data apps/web/src/components/mcp/mcpApps.ts, apps/web/src/components/mcp/mcpApps.test.ts
The handoff type and Grok Bot configuration add an optional app link. Action results include an appLink field. Tests check HTTPS links and the configured grokbot://app link.
Electron app-link validation apps/desktop/src/electron/ElectronShell.ts, apps/desktop/src/electron/ElectronShell.test.ts
The Electron URL parser accepts the exact grokbot://app URL. A test checks that path-bearing and incomplete Grok Bot URLs are rejected.
After a successful copy, the dialog opens the app link. Browsers navigate to it; Electron opens it externally and falls back to the web link if opening fails. The toast action label and availability depend on the app link and runtime.

Provide a fallback when Linux cannot open the app link.
On Linux, Electron 44.10.1 reports success when it starts xdg-open, without waiting for its result. If Grok Bot has no registered handler, this returns true even though the app does not open. (github.com)
UseInAnotherAppDialog.tsx only opens the web link on rejection and does not offer its toast action on desktop. Check for a handler or provide a desktop web-link action. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the external-link handling around Electron.shell.openExternal so Linux
does not report success when no application can handle the link. Establish a
reliable handler check before opening, or ensure the desktop flow provides an
action to open the web link; preserve rejection handling so
UseInAnotherAppDialog can fall back appropriately.

- Line 27: Update the existing appLink assertion in the test to always run:
expect the Grok Bot action to have “grokbot://app” and other actions to have
null, so a missing Grok Bot appLink cannot skip the check.

Electron on Linux reports an app link as opened once xdg-open starts, even
when no app handles it, so the copy toast now offers the web page there too.
The app list test also requires Grok Bot's app link instead of skipping
when it is missing.

Re the Linux fallback (outside the diff): fixed in 34d36c5d0ad. Electron on Linux resolves openExternal once xdg-open starts, so the copy toast now offers "Open Grok Bot on the web" on desktop whenever an app link is used, not only in browsers.

The new desktop fallback says “Open Grok Bot on the web,” but the link opens the download page, not a web chat where users can paste the message. Use a label such as “Get Grok Bot.” (docs.x.ai)

Re the toast label (outside the diff): agreed that x.ai/bot is Grok Bot's product page, not a web chat. Leaving it for the follow-up that adds Grok Bot's message parameter, which rewrites this handoff anyway.
Integrates 15 upstream commits (nightly 4449 to 4452) with one conflict in a
generated file: background commands show their details (pingdotgg#33647), Antigravity
model names from usage metadata (pingdotgg#33661), Gemini Flash effort pricing (pingdotgg#13809)
and an install that no longer fails on a stale Windows Crashpad pipe (pingdotgg#26374),
WebMCP writes on request (pingdotgg#26570), agents see visible:true while the desktop
shows their tab (pingdotgg#23589), scrolling pans expanded images and Mermaid diagrams
(pingdotgg#26630), "Use T3 Code in another app" opens the Grok Bot app (pingdotgg#33663), new
threads use the last used project, and mobile and CI fixes (pingdotgg#33611, pingdotgg#33599,
pingdotgg#32467, pingdotgg#33664, pingdotgg#33618, pingdotgg#33617). No dependency file changed. No fork feature
was added or dropped.
The conflict is apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json, the measured
agent context size: upstream lowered its three values by 2, 2 and 16 bytes, and
the fork's mcpToolListJsonBytes was larger (52804 instead of 48233). Resolved as
5547 / 7277 / 52788 (both changes added); AgentContextBudget.test.ts confirms
that the measured sizes equal these values.
check:changed against the pre-merge HEAD (74 files) passes in every step: format,
lint, knip, graphql, the typecheck of 41 packages, 40 test files, node --test and
the react compiler check.
