What's Wrong?

When using slash commands like /clear or /plugin, the session title in the /resume picker shows raw XML markup instead of a readable title:

<command-name>/clear</command-name> <command-message>clear</command-message> <command-args></command-args>

What Should Happen?

Session should have a readable title (or show the previous message before the command)
