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 👋🏻

Verifying the artifacts
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/v0.98.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.98.0/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.txtIf 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.txtDone! You artifacts are now verified!
