What
Setting a session title now trims and sanitises the string first, and returns null without setting anything if nothing survives.
Details
- Applies to titles from hooks, from the user, and from automatic naming.
- The hook path no longer writes the name separately through the older two-call route.
- The shared helper now handles
--name propagation for non-auto sources.
Evidence
nameSource: "user"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
