 This file is the release changelog, with one `## <version> - <title>` entry per release, newest first. The Cursor-to-T3 rewrite rules live in [`tools/substitutions.json`](tools/substitutions.json), and the [sync boundary](CONTRIBUTING.md#the-sync-boundary) in `CONTRIBUTING.md` defines how a change to upstream's skill content is declared.
 
+## 2.0.0-rc.9 - Lauren's `16541c6`: ketchup lists every waiting item so each call is decidable
+
+t3-pstack moves to Lauren Tan's pstack at cursor/plugins `16541c6` for all three components. Only pstack changed upstream, and its version stays 0.15.25. Ketchup's 150-word cap and two-line action items made the model fold a set of PRs into a count and send the rest of the calls to a linked file. It now gives each waiting item its own bullet, and the reply grows with the item count while a small one stays short ([pstack #692](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/pull/692)). `bun tools/sync.mjs` updated `ketchup/SKILL.md` and poteto-help's ketchup row cleanly through existing substitutions, which keep ketchup's `task_status` and `list_thread_pull_requests` check and its `html_render` charts. The new text names no Cursor mechanism, so no rule was added, and the 15 declared forks are untouched. [pstack #702](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/pull/702), [#705](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/pull/705), and [#704](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/pull/704) sit between the two pins and change no port file: #705 and #704 touch only excluded docs, and #702 renames skills' frontmatter `name` to their folder, which the port already does. At `16541c6` each component's dry run reports no undeclared fork, no denylist hit, and no substitution that matches nothing. Neither hooks file changes.

+| Change | 2.0.0-rc.8 | 2.0.0-rc.9 | Source |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Reply length | The whole reply stays well under 150 words, not counting visuals. | What happened stays under 100 words, each item gets about 30, and the reply grows with the item count. A count or a link never stands in for an item. | pstack #692 |
+| Action items | Two plain lines each: the decision with a recommendation and why, then what happens if the user does not answer. | One bullet per item, riskiest first, with its link or PR number, what it changes for users, the evidence, its risk even when low, and a pick. Items that share a call state the call and pick once. | pstack #692 |
+| Visuals | Never a status list or unconnected boxes. | Also never a list of action items. Structural diagrams, such as a PR stack or a before and after, stay. | pstack #692 |

 ## 2.0.0-rc.8 - Lauren's `0317eb8`: a brand comes from a type guard, not `as`
 
 t3-pstack moves to Lauren Tan's pstack at cursor/plugins `0317eb8` for all three components. Only pstack changed upstream, and its version stays 0.15.25. `typescript-best-practices` built its branded-type example with the `as` cast that its own "No `as` casts" row warns against, and now builds it through a type guard ([pstack #700](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/pull/700)). `bun tools/sync.mjs` updated `SKILL.md` and `references/patterns.md` cleanly, and both are byte-identical to upstream's. No substitution or fork names either file, and the 15 declared forks are untouched. [pstack #637](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/pull/637), between the two pins, changed only upstream's README and `docs/harness/claude-code.md`, which the port excludes. #700's copies under `harness/pstack/claude-code/` sit outside every synced component. At `0317eb8` each component's dry run reports no undeclared fork, no denylist hit, and no substitution that matches nothing. Neither hooks file changes.

With Node 20 or later, it installs or updates the `t3-pstack@t3-pstack` plugin in every Claude Code and Codex config home T3 can run: `~/.claude` and `~/.codex`, `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` and `$CODEX_HOME`, and the home of each `claudeAgent` and `codex` instance in T3's settings, disabled ones included. Name any other home with `--claude-home <dir>` or `--codex-home <dir>`. Each home's `t3-pstack` marketplace must come from `chhoumann/t3-pstack`, or from `--source <owner/repo|git URL|dir>` on the same run, and a home whose marketplace has another source is left as it is. A local directory needs a path such as `./t3-pstack`, since `owner/repo` always means GitHub. On Codex it also trusts t3-pstack's session-start hook, once its hooks file is the one this release pins. Codex runs a plugin's hook only once it is trusted, and T3's Codex sessions never ask, so without this step the hook never runs. Run `update` after each release.
