Twelve review findings, most of which collapse into two causes. "Have we named this conversation" was live-session state. Both providers rebuild their session object on every acquisition, so the flag reset and the next message re-titled the chat — re-imposing a name the user had cleared, and paying for a model call to do it. The marker now lives on the record beside the name, so an eviction, a restart and a re-acquisition all see the same answer. The record gained a clear path too: a name deleted in another client no longer lingers here and keeps rendering. Both once-per-conversation tests now construct a SECOND session, which is what re-acquisition does and what the old same-object tests could not catch. The naming turn's isolation was per-frame-kind and time-boxed. Server requests bypassed the gate entirely, so an approval from the naming turn became a durable prompt in the user's chat for a command they never asked for, pending forever once the turn was abandoned; it is refused now, which also settles the turn. Unhandled frames bypassed it too. And the gate closed when the collector settled, including on its own timeout, so a late frame carrying the title arrived with the gate down. The throwaway thread id is retained for the life of the session instead, which makes the leak structurally impossible rather than a matter of timing. Also: a revealed or reopened chat showed the placeholder forever, because only the startup sweep passed a title and an unchanged name never fans out — every publication now labels itself from the record. The re-read before `thread/name/set` failed OPEN on a reply shape this build cannot parse, and would have overwritten a name a person chose; it fails closed. The collector waited on a `turn/failed` that does not exist, so a refused turn stalled for its full timeout; it settles on a non-retryable `error`, matched on thread id — a retryable one explicitly does not interrupt the turn. The throwaway thread is deleted when the app-server persisted it despite `ephemeral`, verified against codex 0.153.4, which refuses to delete a truly ephemeral one and so is not asked to. The Claude title read moved onto the bounded reverse tail scan the transcript readers already use, extracted so both share it. And every naming failure now logs, so a host whose app-server refuses to name threads is distinguishable from a model that declined. `republishStatus` was a no-op once the status summary stopped carrying a name; removed with its comment. Prompt-text extraction moved inside the protective promise and guards its input, because only the RPC send path validates blocks and a throw there turns a delivered message into a failed one. The session-id pattern forbids ':', so a prefixed key cannot reach the host's map; the tab id and the record it is labelled from are now derived from one stripped value so they cannot disagree.
