 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [5.253.0] — 2026-09-27
+
+### Added
+
+- `hq publish --handle <handle>` publishes a pack under one of the creator handles your
+  account owns, for accounts that own more than one. The server refuses a handle you do
+  not own with a plain message. `--as` is unchanged and cannot be combined with `--handle`.
