What's Wrong?

When I manually rename a session, the name reverts back to the auto-generated name (derived from the first message) as soon as a new command runs or a tool is executed.

Environment

Claude Code version: OS: Windows 11 VSCode

What Should Happen?

A manual rename should persist permanently, regardless of subsequent activity in the session.
