claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix --name flag does not display TUI session badge [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The --name CLI flag should be updated to trigger the display of the session name badge in the TUI, similar to the /rename command.

Guidance

• Investigate the difference in how --name and /rename update the session metadata, focusing on any additional steps or signals that /rename might send to trigger the badge display.
• Verify that the customTitle field is correctly updated in the session JSONL when using --name, as indicated in the provided evidence.
• Check the TUI rendering logic to ensure it correctly handles the customTitle field when set by --name, comparing it with how it handles the field when set by /rename.
• Consider adding a debug log or console output to track when and how the session name badge is updated, to help identify any discrepancies between --name and /rename.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code references that can be safely used without further context.

Notes

The solution may involve identifying and replicating the specific signal or update mechanism used by /rename that triggers the display of the session name badge, applying it to the --name CLI flag handling.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by using the /rename command immediately after launching with --name, until the underlying issue is resolved, as it achieves the desired display of the session name badge.
