# Objective

Grok in the agent is BYOK only today (`x_ai` plus an API key from
console.x.ai). SuperGrok is a separate subscription, so you either pay
twice or you skip Grok in Zed. This makes SuperGrok a first-class LLM
provider, same idea as ChatGPT Subscription or GitHub Copilot Chat.

## Solution

Adds a SuperGrok provider next to the API-key one. Sign in / Sign out is
in Settings → AI → LLM Providers, same shape as ChatGPT Subscription.
Tokens go in the OS keychain, not settings.json.

Shipped models: Grok 4.6 (default), Grok 4.5, Grok Build 0.1. Reasoning
effort on 4.5/4.6 matches the BYOK xAI provider (no `none`, default
high, 4.6 has xhigh). Some Grok plans still get HTTP 403 after a
successful login. The error says the account cannot use this API and
points at the API-key provider.

## Testing

I have been running this locally for a few days on macOS 27 (public
beta) with a SuperGrok Heavy subscription. No issues so far.

`cargo test -p x_ai_subscribed --lib` and `cargo test -p language_models
--lib provider::x_ai_subscribed` pass.
