fix(grok): expose Grok 4.6 xhigh and Cursor Fast

[jbaehova]

Summary

• expose Grok 4.6's real low / medium / high / xhigh ladder for both cursor/grok-4.6 and cursor/grok-4.6-fast, while keeping Grok 4.5 capped at high
• send Cursor Extra High Fast through the established parameterized contract: base model grok-4.6 plus effort=xhigh and fast=true in requested_model.parameters, without restoring the flattened-slug request bug fixed after fix(cursor): support current Grok 4.5 Fast wire IDs #797
• advertise the same official xhigh capability on the direct xAI Grok 4.6 route, and synchronize the transport SOT plus English and translated user docs

The Grok 4.6 Cursor seed added on August 13 mirrored Grok 4.5's three-tier effort table. That made the model and High Fast usable, but it also removed xhigh from the Codex picker and clamped a direct xhigh request back to high. Cursor's current account lineup now exposes both cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh and cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh-fast, while xAI's reasoning documentation identifies xhigh as a real tier on Grok 4.6 and later.

Verification

• cursor-agent --list-models — account lineup includes cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh and cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh-fast
• cursor-agent --trust --model 'grok-4.6[effort=xhigh,fast=true]' --mode ask --print 'Reply with exactly: OK' — completed with OK
• npx --yes bun@1.3.14 scripts/test.ts tests/provider-registry-parity.test.ts tests/cursor-discovery.test.ts tests/cursor-effort-suffix.test.ts tests/cursor-blob.test.ts — 118 passed, 0 failed
• repository CI test matrix reproduced locally with Bun 1.3.14 — all four general-test shards completed in fresh-process batches with 0 failures; storage-policy 9 passed / 0 failed; api-usage 16 passed / 0 failed
• cd gui && npx --yes bun@1.3.14 test --isolate tests — 789 passed, 0 failed
• both CI TypeScript checks (tsc --noEmit and the doctor/service memory contract project) — passed
• npx --yes bun@1.3.14 run privacy:scan — passed
• release-helper syntax build and CLI help smoke — passed
• cd docs-site && npx --yes bun@1.3.14 run build — 265 pages built successfully
• git diff --check — passed

Checklist

• Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
• Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
• Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults; this changes model capability metadata and Cursor model selection only, with no credential or authentication behavior changes.

Changes

The PR adds Grok 4.6 support to Cursor and xAI catalogs. It adds the xhigh reasoning tier, updates Cursor Fast routing and discovery handling, expands parity tests, and synchronizes localized documentation.

Grok model metadata and routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model metadata and request mapping src/providers/registry.ts, src/adapters/cursor/effort-map.ts, src/adapters/cursor/request-builder.ts, structure/04_transports-and-sidecars.md	The xAI registry and Cursor mappings now support Grok 4.6 with xhigh. Cursor Fast requests use canonical Grok model IDs with separate effort and fast parameters.
Discovery and parity validation tests/cursor-discovery.test.ts, tests/cursor-effort-suffix.test.ts, tests/provider-registry-parity.test.ts	Tests cover Grok 4.6 seeds, live IDs, context size, effort ladders, Fast parameters, request identifiers, and xAI/Cursor catalog parity.
Localized catalog documentation docs-site/src/content/docs/**/guides/*, docs-site/src/content/docs/**/reference/adapters.md	English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese documentation describes Grok 4.6 catalog entries, reasoning tiers, discovery, and request parameters.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 3b578

The provider guides list Fast models but do not explain that requests use the canonical Grok model with separate effort and fast parameters, which may lead to user configuration mistakes. The PR is mergeable with explicit documentation follow-up.

Thanks for this — the xAI half of the problem is now on dev via #1593 (2f3221d), which closes #1592 with the same ladder: grok-4.6 gets low/medium/high/xhigh with high as the documented upstream default, and grok-4.5 stays clamped.

Both PRs were ready and correct. #1593 was landed because it is the narrower change scoped to the reported defect (11 files, registry + docs), while this PR also rewrites src/adapters/cursor/effort-map.ts and request-builder.ts to parameterize Cursor Extra High Fast — a separate wire-contract change that deserves its own review rather than riding along with a catalog ladder fix.

The Cursor Fast piece is still wanted. If you rebase this branch onto current dev and reduce it to just the Cursor grok-4.6 / grok-4.6-fast effort exposure plus the fast=true parameterization, it can land on its own merits. Closing this revision as superseded.
