Behavior

• opencli grok ask keeps the upstream/default behavior intact.
• opencli grok ask --web switches to the newer hardened consumer-web implementation.
• The --web path adds stricter composer detection, clearer blocked/session-gated hints, and waits for a stabilized assistant bubble before returning.

Prerequisites

• The Grok adapter still depends on browser-backed access to grok.com
• For --web, Chrome should already be running with an authenticated Grok consumer session
• Browser Bridge extension installed

Caveats

• --web drives the Grok consumer web UI in the browser, not an API.
• It depends on an already-authenticated session and can fail if Grok shows login, challenge, rate-limit, or other session-gating UI.
• It may break when the Grok composer DOM, submit button behavior, or message bubble structure changes.
