Good morning. It's August 22nd, and today's story is about closing the loop on a tricky session-management bug.

The headline item is PR 3425, from Jerome Benoit, which fixes tmux session renaming so the title is persisted before the session is rekeyed. This wasn't a one-and-done change. The linked commit, b-f-2-d-e-1-9, shows real follow-through: fixing a documentation mismatch on session warnings, correcting a CLI and TUI…

That work didn't stop with merge. PR 3480 from blueagledev folds three near-duplicate trust-prompt tests into a single table-driven test, directly closing out a review note from PR 3412. And PR 3471 tightens up documentation on session archiving, removing a pointer that sent readers to the wrong paragraph. Together…

Second theme: performance under load. PR 3478 from karljuhlthefool caps how many tool calls get grouped into a single card in the web structured view, and memoizes the children, after Kimi's high-volume tool-call streams were making the view slow to render. Small fix, real impact on responsiveness.

Tying it together: v1.15.0 shipped in PR 3473, folding in the tmux rekey fix and dozens of other issues since v1.14.1.

What's next: watch for review…
