After renaming a conversation with /rename, the name persists in the /resume picker list but is not loaded back into the active session when you resume that conversation.
Steps to reproduce:

- Use
/rename MyConversationto rename it - Verify name is set (via
/status) - Exit the session (
/exitor Ctrl+C) - Run
claude --resumeor/resume - Select the conversation - it shows "MyConversation" in the picker list
- Check
/statusafter resuming - the name is no longer "MyConversation"
Expected behavior:
The conversation name should be restored when resuming, matching what's shown in the picker.
