C:/Program Files/Git/rename session names revert to auto-generated titles

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 7, 2026 by iglodia Closed Feb 10, 2026

When I rename a session using /rename, the custom name works initially but later reverts to an auto-generated title. This seems to happen after:

  • Resuming the session with /resume
  • Automatic context compaction

It appears the auto-title generator runs on certain events (resume, compact) without checking whether the session already has a manually assigned name. The manual name is silently overwritten.

Expected behavior: A manually set session name via /rename should be treated as a permanent override that is never replaced by auto-generated titles, unless the user explicitly renames it again.
