What's Wrong?

I'm reporting a bug in Claude Code CLI v2.1.280.

After I use /rename to set a custom name for the current conversation and then run /clear to start a new conversation, the new conversation inherits the old custom name. Since /clear is supposed to start a new conversation, this looks like a bug.

What Should Happen?

The new conversation should start with a fresh/default name. The custom name set with /rename on the previous conversation should not carry over.
