Section/Topic

"Connect from another device" section — session title priority order

Current Documentation

The remote-control docs describe a static title selection order:

The remote session title is chosen in this order: 1. The name you passed to --name, --remote-control, or /remote-control 2. The title you set with /rename 3. The last meaningful message in existing conversation history 4. Your first prompt once you send one

This implies the title is set once at session start and does not change unless the user explicitly renames it.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.81: "Improved Remote Control session titles to refresh after your third message."

The docs describe title selection as a one-time static choice. In reality, when no explicit name is set, the title dynamically refreshes after the third message to better reflect the conversation's direction. This auto-refresh behavior is not documented.

Suggested Improvement

Update the title priority section to note dynamic refresh behavior:

The remote session title is chosen in this order: 1. The name you passed to --name, --remote-control, or /remote-control 2. The title you set with /rename 3. The last meaningful message in existing conversation history 4. Your first prompt once you send one Note: When no explicit name is set, the session title automatically refreshes after your third message to better reflect the conversation's topic.
