Allow manual renaming of Claude Code sessions in VS Code

Problem Statement

It would be great to have the ability to manually rename Claude Code sessions in VS Code — similar to how terminal tabs can be renamed. Currently, the session name is auto-generated from the first prompt and cannot be changed. A simple rename option via double-click or right-click → "Rename" would greatly improve clarity when working with multiple open sessions.

Proposed Solution

I'd like to be able to rename a Claude Code session directly in the VS Code panel by double-clicking on the session name or via right-click → "Rename".

The renamed session should retain its custom name persistently — even after restarting VS Code or switching workspaces.

The interface should show an inline text input field (similar to how VS Code handles terminal tab renaming) and confirm the change with Enter or by clicking elsewhere.
