Why
/rename(TUI: add /rename command to set or change a session title #19412) exists but breaks flow mid-prompt.- Closed Top bar UX improvement #4130 calls the current top bar wasteful with an unrelated H1 — this gives that space a purpose.
- [FEATURE]: Show session title in bottom/footer focus area #15344 (footer) and [FEATURE]: TUI display project name in terminal title #19968 (terminal title) circle the same need; top header is most discoverable.
Behavior
- Position: topmost row(s), sticky.
- Color: theme accent.
- Interact: click or
Ctrl+T→ inline edit;Entersave,Esccancel. - Multi-line: 1–2 rows (config) — see [QUESTION] Allow two-line session titles in TUI Sessions dialog (#6166) #22480.
- Persistence: same field as
/rename. - Toggle:
tui.sessionHeader.enabled(default on).
Alternatives
/rename(TUI: add /rename command to set or change a session title #19412) — modal, requires command recall.- Sidebar rename ([FEATURE]: Click to rename session in TUI sidebar #13242, closed) — hidden when sidebar collapsed.
- Footer ([FEATURE]: Show session title in bottom/footer focus area #15344) — competes with prompt.
- Terminal title ([FEATURE]: TUI display project name in terminal title #19968) — outside TUI, clipped.
Out of scope
- Tabs (feat(tui): Chrome-style tab system for multi-session workflows #12548), auto-refresh titles ([FEATURE]: Auto-refresh session titles from current context #17631) — orthogonal, compose later.
