  "body": "Grok Bot appears here as a distinct **Desktop** harness because it is not the same surface as the consumer Grok web chat. The reviewed documentation requires the macOS or Windows app, while each Bot's browser, filesystem, terminal, tools, and durable state live on a hosted computer.\n\nCurrent documentation limits access to eligible SuperGrok or Cursor plans and says Linux has no desktop app. All Bots for one account share that account's cloud computer, including its files, browser sessions, and command-line credentials; separate Bots are therefore not separate security boundaries. Access to the operator's local computer is a separate, approval-controlled capability.\n\nCapability cells cite dated public sources and retain plan, platform, runtime, and policy qualifications; unreviewed cells remain **unknown**."
