Feature Request: Allow customizing chat title generation rules via CLAUDE.md or settings

Feature Request
Currently, Claude Code automatically generates and updates chat titles based on conversation content. The title sometimes changes mid-conversation as the topic shifts, which can be disorienting.
Proposed Behavior
Allow users to define rules for chat title generation in CLAUDE.md or project settings (e.g., settings.json). For example:
# CLAUDE.md
## Chat Title Rules
- Use the first user message as the title
- Keep titles under 30 characters
- Format: [Project] Topic
Why This Matters
- Users who manage multiple projects in one workspace benefit from consistent, predictable title formats
- Teams using shared
CLAUDE.mdconfigs could enforce naming conventions across sessions - Prevents unexpected title changes mid-conversation
Current Behavior
Chat titles are auto-generated and may change as conversation evolves, with no way to customize the logic.
