v0.59.0

# Skills in sidebar, built-in `jq`, performance

Hey all! We hope you're having a great week!

Today's release is very cool, with some nice goodies :sparkles:, let's check them out!

## Skills sidebar

Crush will now show, in the sidebar, which skills are available. Very useful feature contributed by @huaiyuWangh to help discoverability.

## Built-in `jq`

Do you know [`jq`](https://jqlang.org/)? It's a very popular CLI to query JSON files from the terminal. It's very useful for agents when models want to search inside a big JSON file.

Crush will now include `jq` built-in, which means Crush can use it even when it's not installed in your machine! Additionally, we're including a built-in `jq` skill to instruct the model on how to use it.

Huge kudos to @itchyny for implementing [`gojq`](https://github.com/itchyny/gojq), the `jq` port to Go we're using internally for this! :clap:

## Fixed CPU spike

Many thanks to @Chronostasys who fixed a bug in [Ultraviolet](https://github.com/charmbracelet/ultraviolet) that affected Crush. The presence of wide-characters (non-Latin languages or emojis) could result in a CPU spike.

## Progress bar on Rio

You know [Rio Terminal](https://rioterm.com/)? (If not, you should). It recently got support for progress bar feedback, so we just enabled it for Rio as well.

See ya :wave:

<summary>Verifying the artifacts</summary>

First, download the [`checksums.txt` file](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.59.0/checksums.txt) and the [`checksums.txt.sigstore.json` file](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.59.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json) files, for example, with `wget`:

```bash
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.59.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.59.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'
```

Then, verify it using [`cosign`](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign):

```bash
cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt
```

If the output is `Verified OK`, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using `sha256sum`:

```bash
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
```

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
