Problem Statement

When using /rename to name a session, the name only appears inside the active session. The /resume list still shows the auto-generated summary. The /rename name should be used in the resume list too.

Proposed Solution

The /rename name should be persisted and used as the display name in the /resume session list. If no /rename was set, fall back to the current auto-generated summary.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the /resume session list to display the persisted /rename name, falling back to the auto-generated summary if no rename was set.

Guidance

  • Review the current implementation of the /rename command to ensure it persists the provided name.
  • Modify the /resume command to retrieve and display the persisted name from the session, using the auto-generated summary as a fallback.
  • Verify that the /rename name is correctly updated in the session data structure.
  • Test the updated /resume command to ensure it displays the correct session names.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue lacks specific implementation details.

Notes

The solution assumes that the /rename command currently only updates the session name within the active session, and that the session data structure can be modified to persist the renamed session name.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the /resume command to display the persisted /rename name, as this is a targeted fix for the reported issue and does not require a version upgrade.
