What's Wrong?

So in Claude Code 2.1.34 on my Ubuntu machine (OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS x86_64, Kernel: 6.8.0-94-generic), a Lenovo 82N6 Legion 7 16ACHg6, if i try to \rename a chat and then \resume another one, the names are lost. in particular all the chat i try renaming after one are then autorenamed to

[Request interrupted by user for tool use]

What Should Happen?

Claude should remember the renamig without doing weird things.

Steps to Reproduce

e.g. say I am on chat 1 and i want to \rename to "FIRST CHAT", and i get

❯ /rename FIRST_CHAT                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
  ⎿  Session renamed to: FIRST_CHAT

then i resume another chat, say chat 2, by going to resume and entering the resume menu of claude,

and in this chat i do

❯ /rename SECOND_CHAT                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  ⎿  Session renamed to: SECOND_CHAT

<img width="2560" height="1470" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/07b0a7b8-55cf-47cd-a9e4-88723288159f" />

Let's say I now want to go back to the first chat, i reopen the \resume menu and i find the "SECOND CHAT" properly indexed, but the first chat became "[Request interrupted by user for tool use]"

<img width="2560" height="1470" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c0df645-bef9-4df9-84c8-7e094ea538fc" />

This is pretty frustrating and annoying cause i am losing track of all of my chats. Not only it also hapens if i before \exit and then come back again to the first chat though the \resume command in the freshly started chat.
