Session names now record how they were set and can be temporarily set aside per conversation

What

When Claude Code registers a name for a session, it now also records whether that name was given at launch. A new capability lets the current registered name be set aside into a per-conversation list, capped at a fixed number of entries (the oldest one is dropped once the list is full), which clears the session's active name.

Why

This lays groundwork for switching a session between different names across a conversation without losing track of earlier ones, up to a limit.
