[FEATURE] meaningful tab-titles in Windows Terminal to aid crash-recovery

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 2, 2026 by dimension-zero Closed Mar 6, 2026

Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

  • Claude Code on Windows is crashing frequently due to contentious writes to ~/.claude/settings.json.
  • Windows Terminal tabs for multiple Claude Codes sessions are titled "Claude Code"
  • When restarted, Windows Terminal does not start over with same tabs - they have to be reopened manually

Proposed Solution

  • Displaying names of repos / directories in tab-titles instead of "Claude Code"
  • User could then quickly note down which tabs open before restarting Windows Terminal

Alternative Solutions

Not needed for macOS terminal which both displays directory-names AND restarts with former tabs open at correct cwd/pwd.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity
