What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Renaming now has three outcomes: a normal rename, a yield where the requested name is already held by another live session on the same machine and a different name is assigned instead, and a supersede where a newer rename landed first.
Details
The result reports both the name you asked for and the name actually applied.
Evidence
is held by another live session on this machine

Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up /rename, on Claude Code changelog.* Fixed SDK prompt suggestions, side questions and `/rename` sending the conversation from before a compactionchangelogsee the edit
