Fixed

• 8584922dc75b0911bf5dea2cbaec64af557f7a45: fix: route newer Copilot models through the Responses API (#4048) (@DaVinci42)

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.98.1/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.98.1/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity-regexp '^https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/\.github/workflows/(release|nightly)\.yml@' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/nightly/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/nightly/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity-regexp '^https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/\.github/workflows/(release|nightly)\.yml@' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

Rex, OSC 7501, xAI/Grok OAuth and more

Hey! There’s some good quality of life stuff in this release. Let’s take a look!

It’s Rex Time

Following an update on Bubbletea Crush now supports the Program Status Protocol, aka OSC 7501, created by Superlogical for Rex! As a bonus, TUIOS also supports the protocol.

x.AI OAuth

Now Crush supports Grok OAuth login. Enjoy!

Many more fixes

A lot of fixes were introduced this version:

• Server side improvements by @meowgorithm
• External editor swallowing empty buffer
• Models behind OAuth couldn't be used if they weren't in Catwalk
• Fixed MCP toggled misbehavior

And a lot more from @taciturnaxolotl. Read all below!

Good luck, Charm XX 👋🏻

Quick little theme API adjustment

Hey! ICYMI we released support for themes a few hours ago. Before they get too widely adopted, we’re making one small breaking API change to the names of keys.:

insert_bg -> insert_code_bg delete_bg -> delete_code_bg

This is what it looks like in code:

{
  // ...
  "diff_insert_fg": "#629657",

  "diff_insert_code_bg": "#2d3431",

  "diff_insert_gutter_bg": "#282d2c",

  "diff_delete_fg": "#a45c59",

  "diff_delete_code_bg": "#33272d",

  "diff_delete_gutter_bg": "#2a232a",

  // ...
}

See ya! Charm 🎸

This release introduces many improvements but, most importantly, and a solid new feature from one of our very talented contributors:

Let’s plan

At last, thanks to the very talented work of @vadiminshakov and @andrinoff, we present the long awaited Plan Mode.

Plan Mode is for…planning. Talk to the agent, answer questions, and put together a plan and then, when you’re ready, get to to work. You can activate plan mode with <kbd>shift+tab</kbd>.

Juicing more perf

@andreynering and @taciturnaxolotl marched forward in the quest for max perf in this release. Details below.

That's all for now. See you soon!

Cheers, Charm xx 🌟

Lil’ OpenAI-Compatible Protocol Fix

This is a hot little mini patch to fix a regression in OpenAI-compatible endpoints that could occur when turns were stopped partway through. This regression happened because we were furiously making improvements for the DeepSeek V4.X Flash series that you all cannot seem to get enough of!

Thanks also to the very patient @teddytennant who fixed a small bug around turning home dirs into ~s.

xoxo, Charm

ChatGPT subs, non-interactive improvements, and a touch of perf

This is a pretty solid release with some nice contributions from both the Charm team and one of our fave contributors. Let's go!

Use your ChatGPT subscription in Crush

If you love Crush and your ChatGPT subscription you’ll love this release. Enjoy!

Non-interactive mode: reasoning

Headless Crush users now get more control with a new --reasoning-effort flag in crush run. Go crazy and orchestrate to the max!

If you (or your agent) mistypes a reasoning effort you'll get the proper accepted values, too.

crush run --model "hyper/glm-5.3" --reasoning-effort "max"

Shredding the perf

@taigrr contributed a bunch of solid performance improvements to scrolling and spinners. Mouse scroll events are coalesced, chat scrolls are memoized and the spinners all use a shared clock. This stuff is really good: check it out.

Disable mouse support + more

Hey, how's your week going? We have a few changes today, including mostly fixes but also a few nice additions.

Disable mouse support

Want to disable mouse support in Crush? Feel lucky because our favorite contributor @timotheosh added just that.

With the config below you can achieve that. It's also possible to toggle it via the command palette dialog.

crushrc:

option ui mouse false

crush.json:

{ "options": { "tui": { "mouse": false } } }

Fixed UX for non-vision models

In some cases, Crush were allowing you to attach an image even when the selected model was not vision-capable. The attachment was then being silent dropped in the request.

Now, we're properly validating it and showing a message so you know when it's not supported.

Fixed some models on GitHub Copilot

On Copilot some models only works on the /responses endpoint: named GPT-6 Astra and the Grok models.

Compact Exit Banner + Mode

This release includes some fixes + an UX improvement.

Compact Exit Banner

It's now possible to configure the exits banner to more compact, if you so wish.

.crushrc:

option ui exit-banner compact
option ui exit-banner none
option ui exit-banner default  # default

crush.json:

{
  "options": {
    "tui": {
      "exit_banner": "compact"
    }
  }
}

Default:

Compact:

Agentic fixes

We made quite a few fixes to Fantasy to make it more stable and fix a few issues with some inference providers.

Small Bash config fix

@devYRPauli made a fix to the Bash config. When adding a model, --price-cache-create and --price-cache-hit were swapped but this issue is now addressed.

The Charm Team

Changelog

New!

Fixed GitHub MCP + UI fixes

A small patch with a couple fixes.

Fixed GitHub MCP

The GitHub MCP stopped working in Crush in the recent days, but it's now working again.

We "sessionless": true (or --sessionless true) that some MCPs might need to work correctly. For GitHub MCP, we're enabling that automatically so it works without extra config for you.

Code indentation fixes

We fixed a couple bugs with wrong indentation in code in the UI. This could happen on tool calls previews or code inside markdown.

Example screenshots:

New Hyper models

Last news, we have 3 new models available in Hyper!

• Qwen3.8-Flash
• Qwen3.8-27B
• Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B

These are really good models, I hope you enjoy!

Small patch

Hello friends. This release address a few small issues.

MCP fixes

Our fave contributor @joestump did a couple fixes on how Crush handles MCPs to make it more reliable, specially when the MCP is mis-configured or mis-behaves.

UX fixes

@andrinoff also made a couple fixes:

• Fixed <kbd>ctrl+a</kbd> after v0.91.0.
• Improved copying by selection with wrapped lines
• Added documentation on how to set a custom Catwalk URL

That's all for today. See ya! Charm

Text selection and better mouse support

Just a few QOL improvements to the prompt editor and session picker for the weekend!

Text selection

Hold <kbd>shift</kbd> and use the arrow keys or click and drag with your mouse to select text in the prompt editor. From there, you can use any of the fancy new shortcuts 👀

• <kbd>ctrl+shift+a</kbd> selects everything
• <kbd>ctrl+shift+c</kbd> copies the selection
• <kbd>ctrl+shift+x</kbd> cuts the selection
• <kbd>ctrl+shift+v</kbd> pastes text

Typing or pasting over selected text replaces it.

Mouse support in the session picker

We've been missing mouse support in the session picker for too long! You can now scroll through sessions with the mouse wheel, click an entry to select it, or double-click to open it.

A small Windows fix

Pressing a modifier key by itself could send some dialogs back to the top on Windows. They should stay put now.

Keep crushing! Charm 💌
