Problem Statement

I've noticed an issue with how chat titles are updated in the history list. When a new chat is started, the title is immediately generated in the history based on the initial prompt. However, if the AI's response is stopped and that first message is then edited, the title in the chat history does not update to reflect the new content.

For example:

  1. I start a new chat by typing "Stanley." The conversation immediately appears in the chat history with the title "Stanley."
  2. While the AI is generating a response, I stop it.
  3. I then edit my initial prompt from "Stanley" to "anything else."
  4. The title for this chat in the history list remains "Stanley" and does not update to reflect the edited prompt.

Proposed Solution

Claude should automatically update a chat's title in the history list if the user edits their first message. This would ensure that the title accurately reflects the conversation's starting topic, even if the initial prompt is modified after being sent.
