Bug
A Claude Code session's title shows correctly in the macOS Claude app but shows a completely unrelated name in the iOS Claude app.
What happened
- Session started with an auto-generated title.
- Mid-session, the session was renamed twice via the
mcp__ccd_session_mgmt__set_session_titletool (session_id: "self"), both times to the same ticket-prefixed title. Both calls returned success. - macOS Claude app: shows the renamed title correctly.
- iOS Claude app (same account, same session, checked at the same time): shows "Albert" — a name that has nothing to do with this session or either of its titles, possibly a title bleeding in from a different conversation.
Expected
Both clients show the current session title, or at worst a stale-but-previous title for this session — never an unrelated one.
Environment
- Session driven from the iPhone Claude app (Claude Code session), also visible in the macOS Claude desktop app
- Host: macOS (darwin), Claude Code agent session
- Model: claude-opus-5 / claude-fable-5 during the session
Happy to provide the session id or timestamps privately if useful for triage.
