What's Wrong?
Renaming a session tab in the Claude Code VS Code extension's sidebar does not work. After typing a new name into the rename field and pressing Enter, the field resets back to the old name instead of committing the new one.
What Should Happen?
Pressing Enter after typing a new session name should commit the rename and show the new name in the sidebar.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the Claude Code sidebar in VS Code with at least one active session.
- Click the rename (pencil) icon on a session tab.
- Type a new name into the field.
- Press Enter.
- Observe: the field reverts to the original name instead of keeping the new one.
