The presence of H, together with the large [Ca II]/[O I] ratio ($\approx10-15$) in the nebular phase is consistent with SN 2019ehk being a Type IIb core-collapse supernova from a stripped low mass ($\approx9-9. 5$ M$_\odot$) progenitor, similar to the Ca-rich SN IIb iPTF 15eqv.

Compiling transients in the literature with $t_\mathrm{rise} <5$d and $M_\mathrm{peak}<-20$mag, we find that a significant number are engine-powered, and suggest that the high peak optical luminosity is directly related to the presence of this engine.

Regardless of the nature of this central engine, this source heralds a new class of energetic transients shocking a dense medium, which at early times are most readily observed at millimeter wavelengths.
