+# Talking Stick 0.4.12
+
+Date: 2026-06-09
+
+## Fixed
+- **No-op `tt install` runs are quiet.** Legacy MCP cleanup lines are only printed when an entry was actually removed, preserved, or failed — `absent`/`skipped` no-ops stay silent. The Grok session hook and Gemini skill installs now inspect their targets and report `already_present` instead of rewriting (`ok: Updated ...`) or re-linking (`added: ok`) on every run, and the `tt instructions edit` hint only prints when an install actually changed something.
+
+## Verification

+```bash
+npm run typecheck
+npm test
+npm run build
+node dist/cli.js --help
+git diff --check
+npm pack --dry-run
+```
