[Bug] Session auto-title incorrectly normalizes service names to similar real words

Bug Description
Session titles are auto-generated from the first message, and there's no way to steer or disable this. In my case, work on "Quormo" (an internal service) was auto-titled "Quorum," which is a different, real service owned by another team. This isn't just cosmetic: the wrong title misrepresents which system the session touches, which is actively misleading in an engineering org where both names are real services.
Requests, any one of which would solve it:
- A setting (settings.json) to disable auto-title generation.
- A way to pass a guaranteed title at session start that suppresses auto-generation (today -n sets a name but it's unclear whether it prevents the auto-summary).
- Let CLAUDE.md / memory provide a domain vocabulary hint so the title generator preserves known terms verbatim instead of "correcting" them to the nearest dictionary word.
The core problem is the generator silently normalizing an unfamiliar token to a plausible-but-wrong real word, with no user control over the result.
