Control UI: Editable session titles + sidebar scroll improvements #89922

Description

Feature Request

Problem

When working with many sessions in the Control UI sidebar, there's no way to manually rename/edit session titles. Currently titles are auto-derived from the first message, which means:

  • You can't fix a poorly-named session after creation
  • You can't organize sessions with clear, concise custom names
  • Multi-session workflows (e.g. separating personal work from team work by agent) need better session management UX

Requested Features

  1. Editable/renamable session titles — Click-to-edit or a rename action on sessions in the sidebar/session picker. Ideally backed by sessions.patch with a label or title field.

  2. Sidebar scroll UX confirmation — When many sessions accumulate under an agent, ensure the session list is comfortably scrollable with clear visual separation, and potentially add search/filter within the session picker.

Context

  • Running multi-agent setup (owner + team members) with agent-scoped sessions
  • Owner uses a dedicated agent picker to isolate personal sessions from team members
  • Uses /new to spin up work-context sessions but needs post-creation rename ability
  • Would like seamless switching between clearly-named work sessions without losing context

Suggested UX

  • Double-click or pencil icon on session title in sidebar → inline edit
  • Right-click context menu with "Rename session" option
  • Or a /title <name> slash command that patches the session label

Environment

  • OpenClaw 2026.5.27
  • macOS (arm64)
  • Control UI via localhost
