Summary
Renaming a Claude Code session is not reflected in the Android app. The app keeps showing the title the session had when it first synced.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a session on the desktop (local session,
sessionId: local_...,isRemote: false). - Send a first message, then rename the session (session-management
set_session_title,session_id: "self"). get_sessionconfirms the new title on the desktop side.- Open the same session in the Android app.
Expected
The app shows the current session title.
Actual
The app shows the title from the initial sync. Force-stopping the app and reloading does not update it. The desktop side is correct throughout.
Impact
Sessions are typically auto-renamed after the first message, because the title is derived from it. On Android this means essentially every session shows a stale or empty title.
Environment
- Windows 11 Pro 26200, Claude Code desktop app
- Android app, force-stop + reload attempted
