January 2026 focused on reliability, tooling expansion, and UX improvements for charmbracelet/crush. Key improvements include a fix for Copilot quota handling and subagent quota, ensuring correct quota accounting and reducing user-visible failures. The small model now consistently counts as a subagent, saving quota during title generation. We expanded the tooling surface (diagnostics, sourcegraph, fetch, download) and refactored agent tools (renaming simple to compact) to simplify maintenance and onboarding. UI/UX enhancements were driven by major refactors (permissions dialog, reasoning dialog, UI initialization, pills, and references tool), improving stability and developer experience. Session management received boosts with delete sessions and update session title, and a new prompt history feature was introduced. These changes improve reliability, speed, and business value by reducing friction, enabling richer automation, and delivering a more stable product baseline (v0.33.3).
