Anthropic's note

Upstream's own release notes for v2.0.73 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Improved /theme command to open theme picker directly

Is this right?

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
