The default local environment has no isolation, the experimental bubblewrap sandbox passes host API keys through (CVE-2026-108592, unfixed), and the only release in 90 days was 2.4.6 on 23 July 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Crush\n\n1. Add `permissions deny` rules or a PreToolUse hook before `crush run`. It approves every permission request in its session\n2. Read `.crushrc`, `crushrc` and `crush.json` in a cloned repository before running Crush there. They execute as shell code at startup\n3. Set `CRUSH_DISABLE_METRICS=1` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` to stop usage metrics to data.charm.land\n4. Wrap `crush run` in your own timeout. It has no turn, time or cost limit flag\n5. Configure a provider by environment variable or `crushrc` first. With none, `crush run` exits with an error asking for interactive setup\n\n### mini-swe-agent\n\n1. Run with `-y --exit-immediately` for unattended use. Without `--exit-immediately` it waits for input when the agent finishes\n2. Set `MSWEA_CONFIGURED=true` and `MSWEA_MODEL_NAME` first, or the first run stops at an interactive setup prompt\n3. Read `info.exit_status` in the `-o` trajectory file. A run that hits its limits still exits normally\n4. For untrusted repositories use `-c mini.yaml -c environment.environment_class=docker -c environment.image=\u003cimage\u003e`. The local and bubblewrap environments both expose host variables\n5. Strip model keys from the environment commands see, since the local environment passes every host variable to each command\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Crush or mini-swe-agent?\n\nmini-swe-agent and Crush score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 56.7 (C) and 56.5 (C).
