This looks more like a configuration issue than a LibreChat bug. LibreChat v0.8.8 already supports automatic titles for OpenRouter via titleConvo: true and titleModel: '<available-model-id>' in the OpenRouter entry of librechat.yaml (see the official v0.8.8 example). Could you check those settings and share your OpenRouter config (without secrets) and backend title-generation errors if it still fails? The posted ResumeOnLoad browser logs don't indicate a title-generation failure.

Following up on @marlonka's comment: the v0.8.8 example they linked sets titleModel: 'meta-llama/llama-3-70b-instruct', and OpenRouter has since removed that model. If your config was copied from it, title requests fail and chats stay "New Chat". Switching to a model OpenRouter still lists, such as meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct, should fix it. We're updating the example too.
