+## 1.2.1
+
+### Added
+
+- **Label filtering on issues list.** `plane issues list` now supports `--label <name>` (repeatable, AND logic) to filter issues by label name(s).
+
+### Changed
+- `plane --help` and bare `plane` now print a shorter, curated overview instead of the full generated command tree, which removes repeated nested command paths from the top-level help surface and keeps detailed syntax on `plane <command> --help`.
+
+### Fixed
+- Pre-commit hook now handles file size and coverage checks non-fatally (allowing commits to proceed even if checks fail).
+
 ## 1.2.0
 
 ### Added

-FOR AI AGENTS / BOTS
-  - Add --json to any list command for JSON output (array of objects)
-  - Add --xml to any list command for XML output
-  - 'plane issue get PROJ-N' always outputs full JSON
-  - Use PLANE_API_TOKEN to avoid 'plane init'
-  - Use PLANE_HOST for self-hosted Plane instances
-  - Use PLANE_WORKSPACE to select the workspace
-  - Use PLANE_PROJECT or 'plane projects use PROJ' to persist a current project
-  - Local config lives in '.plane/config.json' and is resolved from the current directory upward
-  - Project-listing contexts exclude archived projects by default; add '--include-archived' where supported to include them
-  - 'plane init --local' also writes '.plane/project-context.json' with existing states, labels, and estimate points for the selected project
-  - 'plane init --local' also creates or updates 'AGENTS.md' so local AI agents reuse '.plane/project-context.json' for project-specific context
-  - Full Plane REST API reference (180+ endpoints):
-    https://developers.plane.so/api-reference/introduction`,
+Agent notes:
+  Add --json or --xml to list commands.
+  plane issue get PROJ-29 returns full JSON with parent_issue and child_issues summaries.
+  plane init --local writes .plane/project-context.json and updates AGENTS.md.
+
+Use 'plane <command> --help' for detailed syntax and options.
