thanks for the catch, what we meant is that we’re not committing to strict stability guarantees yet, so APIs may still change as we iterate toward 1.0.

I understand, but that's already implied by a 0.y.z version number.

This looks useful. But, it's interesting how the backend-world and front-end world keep diverging. I must admit, I had no idea what this was from the title. "CLI framework"? But in backend-land, these would typically be called "argument parsers" or "command line argument parsers". But maybe I am missing some of the functionality.

good point.
we’re using “framework” intentionally because it goes beyond argument parsing. crust handles parsing, but also:
type inference across args + flags end to end
compile-time validation (so mistakes fail before runtime)
plugin system with lifecycle hooks (help, version, autocomplete, etc.)
composable modules (prompts, styling, validation, build tooling)
auto-generates agent skills and modules from the CLI definitions
so it sits a layer above a traditional arg parser like yargs or commander, closer to something like oclif, but much lighter and bun-native.
Sorry for being nitpicky, but yes they do. Semantic versioning[0] allows arbitrary changes while the major version is 0:
> Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
