What's Wrong?

I am using claude code desktop app for explore and plan phases of my app and VS code (claude code) to build the app. I asked agents to put the chats under same project. I see the VS code conversation in the claude code desktop app and is intact. However, I renamed the chat in VS code and name in desktop app did not get updated, though the conversation is up to date.

What Should Happen?

I expect the chat name in desktop app to sync with vscode
