What's Wrong?

When renaming a session by clicking the pencil icon and typing a new name, pressing Enter appears to save the name briefly, but it then reverts to the previous auto-generated title. The rename does not persist.

What Should Happen?

Steps to reproduce:

Open Claude Code desktop app
Hover over a session in the sidebar
Click the pencil (edit) icon
Type a new name
Press Enter
Expected: Session keeps the new name.

Result: Name reverts to the original auto-generated title after a few seconds.

OS: Windows 11

all sessions regardless of length or content of the new name.
