What's Wrong?

When I rename a conversation in the sidebar, the new name does not persist. As soon as I switch to a different conversation and come back, the name reverts to the original/auto-generated title.

What Should Happen?

After renaming a conversation, the custom name should persist permanently across all session switches and page reloads.
