June 2025 Highlights for steipete/crush: Delivered enterprise-grade reliability and developer experience enhancements, modernizing the Go codebase with gofmt, gopls, and staticcheck adherence; improved JSON escaping and Go type assertions compatibility; strengthened LLM provider call handling and retry logic; and enhanced safety for the Bash tool. Overhauled configuration loading with a cross-platform configFinder that locates configuration files across Windows, Unix-like, and local directories, standardizing configuration loading. Introduced UI/UX enhancements including capitalized confirmation prompts and a new visual theme with schema tweaks. Enabled Gemini context processing by including GEMINI.md and gemini.md in default schema paths. Fixed key bugs: provider creation logic addressed by adding parentheses for proper OOO evaluation; Ollama model listing error handling now returns an empty models slice on HTTP errors to prevent nil dereferences. Overall impact: more reliable, faster onboarding for contributors, consistent cross-platform behavior, and fewer runtime errors in production, enabling safer LLM integrations and better user experience.
