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:

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.

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/v0.92.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.92.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --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!

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!

Don't know Hyper yet? Hyper is Charm's provider with a $20/m subscription. Check it out!

That's all for today. Keep crushing!

Text selection and better mouse support

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

Text selection

Hold shift 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 👀

• ctrl+shift+a selects everything
• ctrl+shift+c copies the selection
• ctrl+shift+x cuts the selection
• ctrl+shift+v 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!

Tiny patch

This is a tiny release, but we thought it would be worth it.

• Updated Bubble Tea with a couple fixes for some terminal emulators.
• Updated Fantasy with fixes for AWS SSO and better cache hitting.
• Fixed wrong background color on permissions dialog. This was a regression from adding Bash syntax highlighting on v0.89.0.
• Updated our .gitattributes to make development easier on Windows. We're normalizing LF (instead of CRLF) as line breaks to fix some tests on Windows.

Changelog

Fixed

• ed15da4: fix(ui): use dialog background for bash syntax highlighting in permissions (#3575) (@andreynering)

A couple QoL goodies

We're releasing a few Quality of Life ™️ enhacements for you. They're simple, but these simple improvements compound with time to make Crush better and better.

Hint on quitting Crush

When quitting Crush, you'll see a splash screen with a hind on how to quickly continue from the session you left.

Bash tool syntax highlighting

When displaying what Crush is running using the Bash tool, the shell command will now have syntax highlighting. It's a small addition, but definitely improves legibility.

Moo 🐮

ctrl+end to jump to bottom + follow

If you want to quickly jump to the bottom of the chat, you can now just press ctrl+end. This will also ensure Crush will follow the chat as new messages arrive.

MCP improvements

We enhanced things to make it more stable and fix a couple of edge-case bugs.

That's all for today. See you in the next release!
