it cracked up.
I stopped by the glass shop and they are taking it as a warranty replacement so no new insurance claim needed!
This is the second windshield in the last month or so. this one was weird. It started on the left side and slowly went about halfway down until it ‘popped’ and went all the way down to the bottom and across to the middle

This is why I refuse to replace the windshield on my Subaru. I know as soon as I fix it, it's gonna get broken again. I've basically committed to not doing it until the law gives me a hassle for it. I used a repair kit and it's been over a year and hasn't grown. But it's a foot long Crack so it's not that small. At least it's on the passenger side so it's not like I see it while driving anyways.

Was the replacement OEM glass? My understanding is that some third-party stuff is way less durable. Or maybe you just got unlucky.

I feel your pain. Took a single day off and returned to this bigly crack. No one has taken responsibility for it either

You may not, depends on your state. In PA, the crack just can’t be obscuring the driver’s vision, I’ve got a decent crack on the passenger side and made it through several inspections. It’s mostly hidden by the rearview mirror from driver’s seat though.

Clearly. Since we all know you’re not that funny.

MA is a little more restrictive:
Glazing, Mirrors and Windshield Wiper(s)
(a) All glazing originally equipped on the vehicle must be in place and operate as originally designed.
(b) Windshield Critical Viewing Area is the area covered by the sweep of the wiper(s) exclusive of the outer two inches within the perimeter of the wiper(s) sweep, provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
(c) Windshields having any of the following defects will be rejected:
1. Any broken glass with sharp or jagged edges inside or outside.
2. Any stone bruise, star break, or bulls eye, damage in excess of one inch in diameter within the critical viewing area or larger than two inches outside the critical viewing area, or multiple such damage.
3. Single line cracks which extend more than three inches into the critical viewing area.
4. Multiple cracks, having one or more which extends into the critical viewing area.
5. Wiper scrape(s) in excess of ¼ inch wide within the critical viewing area.
6. Clouding extending more than three inches within the perimeter of the exposed glass.
7. No poster, sticker decal or any other item shall be attached to the windshield in such a manner so as to obstruct the vision of the operator.
8. Any tinting or reflective material applied by brush, spray, or adhesive which is below
the uppermost six inches of the windshield or which may encroach upon the drivers
direct forward viewing area. (All such tinting provided by the original manufacturer in
compliance with applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards is acceptable.)
Possibly it would still be OK (for now), since that might be within 2" of the perimeter, but better to get it replaced under warranty.
