Now the hook can specify a `placement` of either \"head\" (the old prepend behavior) or the new \"tail,\" which appends the entries at the end instead and can extend the tracked length of restored transcript.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives hook authors control over whether their injected content appears before or after existing transcript entries, useful for hooks that want to append rather than prepend information.\n\n- Area: Hooks\n- Names: `head`, `tail`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
