claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Session name from /rename not shown in /resume picker [1 comments, 2 participants]

The /resume picker shows the first user message as the label (e.g., "Using warrensbox/tap/tfswitch Error: No available formula...") instead of the custom name.

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by ensuring that the custom session name is properly persisted and retrieved when resuming a session.

Guidance

• Verify that the /rename command correctly updates the session metadata, including the custom name.
• Check if there's a caching mechanism that might be causing the outdated session label to be displayed in the /resume picker.
• Investigate the session persistence logic to ensure that the custom name is being saved and loaded correctly.
• Consider adding logging or debugging statements to track the session metadata and label updates.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the implementation details.

Notes

The root cause of the issue is unclear, but it appears to be related to the session metadata not being updated or persisted correctly. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually updating the session label after resuming a session, if possible, until the underlying issue is resolved. This is because the custom name is not being displayed as expected in the /resume picker.
