feat: display user-renamed session titles#24
Merged
Conversation
Claude Code stores custom titles as `custom-title` records inline in session JSONL files (via `/rename`). Codex stores them as `thread_name` in `~/.codex/session_index.jsonl`. Parse both sources and use the custom title when present, falling back to the existing first-message excerpt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Show custom session titles set by users via
/rename(Claude Code) or/title(Codex) in search results, recent sessions, and session detail views.How it works
{"type":"custom-title","customTitle":"..."}records inline in the JSONL file. The parser now reads these and uses the last one as the session title.~/.codex/session_index.jsonlasthread_namekeyed by session UUID. The syncer loads this index once per sync and applies titles both during parsing (for new/updated sessions) and as a post-sync pass (for already-synced sessions whose JSONL mtime hasn't changed).Files changed
