+Cursor baseline: [0.15.23](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/tree/c86f349b102feb91f1966f8a6a60882a4e601b50/pstack). [Issue #117](https://github.com/arjitj2/open-pstack/issues/117). [PR #118](https://github.com/arjitj2/open-pstack/pull/118). Tag [v1.15.0](https://github.com/arjitj2/open-pstack/releases/tag/v1.15.0).
+
+Adds manual `in-your-own-words` goal restatement and a short, read-only `ketchup` catch-up with small grounded visuals. Keeps actual-human anchoring, pending decisions, explicit UI authorization and evidence gaps. Adds the proposal of a cheap always-on signal after a deep debugging investigation.
+
+Shortens engineering prompts while preserving provider routing, completed-worker handoffs, meaningful negative tests and portable transcript evidence. Updates paged review-state aggregation, fenced-plan validation, scoped worktree auditing and verification-skill readiness from empty data, including missing-seed failures.
+
+Real Codex and Claude checks exercise the changed contracts; PR #118 records exact-package evidence and limits. Generated analysis remains subject to the recorded wording and attribution caveats. Same-model fixtures do not establish provider diversity, the architecture run does not prove blind candidate evaluation, and stand-in readiness checks do not verify broader target setup. Claude's protected skill-directory write required an authorized parent installation before its generated skill was invoked and driven. Existing supported manifests remain in place while additional root-format discovery is deferred.

 The table records the packaged version on `main` and the Cursor content it incorporates, minus the exclusions below. Detecting or reviewing a newer Cursor commit does not advance this baseline. Cursor's version identifies the imported content. The open-pstack version identifies the cross-harness package, and its numbers are independent of Cursor and Eric's port.

 - The `4e5b1cf` help workflow uses this distribution’s owning documents, namespaced invocation, native/external routes, and host startup controls. Cursor Custom Modes, excluded `make-bot-ui`, and Cursor-only guide edits are not applied.
 - The `2cbf585` guide-only refresh stays upstream; this distribution links Lauren's guide and keeps portable prompting guidance in `poteto-help`.
 - The `df58112` model and effort changes are excluded. This distribution retains Sol as a first-run family, its existing provider-qualified panel and role defaults, and confirmed budget ceilings that do not raise lower saved efforts. Cursor's model availability and two-model panel do not define access in Codex or Claude Code. Its accompanying panel-count prose, test fixture rename, and guide edits stay with that excluded model change; neutral help wording is retained.
+- The `e5a02f8` Agent Plugins v1 root manifest is deferred until its new-format discovery is validated. Existing tested Codex and Claude manifests remain the supported package entry points; this is not a claim that either host is incompatible with the additional format.
+- The `b93e811` fallback search through Cursor plugin caches is replaced by the parent supplying its active installed skill path and bundled sibling-leaf paths. Choosing the highest cached version could select an unverified candidate. Cursor-only menu wording and already-absent ignored frontmatter need no separate portable mechanism.
+- Cursor version-only changes retain this distribution's independent release numbering. `ketchup` keeps current-chat anchoring, read-only status checks, explicit UI authorization and evidence/proposal distinctions while adopting the short small-visual format. Goal restatement is manual-only in both hosts.
 - The Claude manifest does not take the logo field from `efa2a53` because Claude Code has no schema for it. The Codex manifest exposes the shared asset instead.
 
 Earlier exclusions include Cursor's Benny automation, tutorial and sticky-mode UI, Cursor-only agent metadata, and Team Kit tools covered by host built-ins or bundled skills.
