titleFromTranscript read only ai-title lines. On one local tree that named 18 of 128 sessions;
the other 110 fell back to their working directory, and since sessions share directories those rows
were indistinguishable from each other in the TITLE column.

Changes

Accept agent-name as a title. {"type":"agent-name","agentName":…} alongside ai-title
some installs write one, some the other. The byte prefilter needed the new key too, or the line is
skipped before it reaches the JSON decoder.

Prefer Claude Code's own record. {"type":"last-prompt","lastPrompt":…} is the agent stating
what the prompt was, present in 129 of 130 local transcripts, so it outranks anything this package
reconstructs. Both title kinds still outrank it: a generated title is a summary, this is raw input.

Otherwise reconstruct from user turns, preferring turns Claude Code attributes with
"origin":{"kind":"human"} and string content, then unattributed string content, then text pulled
from a content array. Turns marked task-notification or peer are dropped, as are tool_result
arrays — tool output rather than anything typed.

Harness markup is handled by SHAPE rather than uniformly dropped, which is worth stating precisely:
a <command-name> envelope is re-rendered as the line the user typed, a <pasted_content …> wrapper
has its body kept because the user did paste it, a harness block arriving alongside real text is
dropped per block, and markup appended after prose is cut. Only text that is markup all the way
through causes the turn to fall through to the next tier.

Clip to 80 runes, collapse whitespace. A prompt is unbounded free text and a title is a table
cell. Runes rather than bytes so a multi-byte prompt is not cut mid-character; whitespace collapsed
because the viewer renders control characters as U+FFFD rather than dropping them.

Effect

On the tree measured above: 18 named → 123, with 5 sessions left on the directory fallback because
they contain no human turn.

Testing

Sub-cases covering each tier and its precedence, the dropped origins, tool_result, the bracketed
markers, slash-command unwrapping, wrapper stripping, harness markup in every position it was
observed in, JSON spacing, and the clip (ASCII, CJK, embedded newlines). gofmt and go vet clean;
authlib/observe/... and cmd/abctl green under -race.

On the local tree: 131 entries, 128 named, 3 on the directory fallback, no blank titles and no
harness markup.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Improved Claude session title detection across supported title formats, including agent-generated titles and Claude Code’s recorded prompts.
    • Added fallback titles based on relevant human-entered prompts when an explicit title is unavailable.
    • Improved handling of slash commands, multiline text, pasted content, and content blocks when generating titles.
    • Titles prioritize the most relevant available text, stay on one line, and are limited by character count. When no suitable title is available, the working directory remains a fallback.

Walkthrough

The Claude transcript harvester now recognizes agent-name and last-prompt records. It ranks these with reconstructed user prompts, filters synthetic content, unwraps slash commands, and normalizes selected titles. Tests cover selection, fallback, and normalization behavior.

Changes

Claude transcript title selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Title and prompt extraction
authbridge/authlib/observe/claude/harvest.go, authbridge/authlib/observe/claude/harvest_test.go
The harvester reads ai-title, agent-name, and last-prompt records. It ranks them above reconstructed user prompts and falls back to the cwd when no prompt candidate is available. Tests cover record handling, prompt ranking, and JSON spacing.
Prompt normalization
authbridge/authlib/observe/claude/harvest.go, authbridge/authlib/observe/claude/harvest_test.go
The harvester unwraps command envelopes, strips wrappers and harness markup, filters synthetic prompt content, and clips selected titles to 80 runes. Tests cover normalization, fallback behavior, and UTF-8 output.

titleFromTranscript read only `ai-title` lines, so most sessions fell back to their
working directory: on one local tree, 18 of 128 had a real title and 110 showed a path.
Paths are shared between sessions, so those rows were indistinguishable from each other.

Three changes:

- Accept `{"type":"agent-name","agentName":…}` as a title alongside `ai-title`. Some
  installs write one, some the other. The byte prefilter has to admit the new key too, or
  the line is skipped before it is parsed.

- Fall back to the user's last prompt when neither title line is present, preferring turns
  Claude Code attributes with `"origin":{"kind":"human"}` and string content over content
  arrays. Turns marked `task-notification` or `peer` are dropped, as are tool_result
  arrays and the harness's own bracketed blocks — those are tool output and injected
  text, not anything typed. A slash command is rendered as the line the user typed rather
  than as its `<command-name>` envelope, and a `<pasted_content …>` wrapper is stripped
  from what the user pasted inside it.

- Clip prompt titles to 80 runes and collapse whitespace. A prompt is unbounded free text;
  a title is a table cell, and the viewer renders control characters as U+FFFD rather than
  dropping them. The cwd fallback is NOT clipped: a path's distinguishing end is its leaf,
  so clipping made sibling worktrees under a long prefix identical.

On the same tree this takes the count from 18 named to 124, with 5 sessions left on the
directory fallback because they contain no human turn.

All nine addressed in bb0147a. Two were real bugs with a measurable symptom, one I could not
reproduce and adopted anyway on other grounds, and one turned up a second bug while I was fixing it.

Must-fix — the cwd fallback was clipped. Confirmed as a regression against base. Constructed the
case: a prefix of 81 runes makes two sibling worktrees clip to byte-identical titles, because a
path's distinguishing end is its leaf and clipTitle keeps the head. The cwd is no longer clipped —
whitespace is still collapsed so it cannot carry a control character into a cell — and the renderer
already truncates paths from the left, keeping the tail. Test added; mutation-verified by restoring
the clip, which fails with both siblings at the same string.

isSyntheticPrompt missed attributed tags. Reproduced: <pasted_content id="abc123">… returned
false, because the space and =" failed the [a-z-_] check that ran over everything up to >. Now
cut at the first space, tab or slash before validating, and lowercased while I was there — your
latent case, no real occurrence, one call.

That fix alone was not enough, which I only found by re-running against the real tree: the
<pasted_content> title survived, because that turn's origin.kind is "human" and attributed
turns deliberately bypass the filter. Filtering it would lose a real prompt — the user did paste it —
so the wrapper is now stripped and the pasted text kept. Zero markup titles remain across 129
transcripts.

Ordering bug I introduced doing that, caught by an existing test: stripping a leading wrapper before
reading a command envelope threw away <command-args>, so /review some/path.md became /review.
The envelope is read first now, and there is a case pinning it.

Whitespace-only candidate rendering blank. Real; also CodeRabbit's inline comment. Candidates are
normalised before the switch. Three sub-cases, mutation-verified.

between's close parameter — renamed to closing. You are right that nothing would catch it:
go vet is silent and this module's lint step is only go fmt + go vet.

Dead const userLine and its _ = userLine keeper — both deleted.

Commit subject was 75 characters, now 65.

maxTitleLen is a rune cap, not a width. Comment says so explicitly, and there is now a test
asserting that 80 runes of CJK exceed 80 in the observable proxy available here — authlib has no
width library, since lipgloss and go-runewidth are cmd/abctl dependencies and adding one for a
single assertion seemed worse than the proxy. It pins the half that lives in this package, so the
constant cannot quietly become a width bound.

Prefilter performance — I could not reproduce the 5.8× regression. Measured over the same 128
real transcripts, 1 iteration each:

prefilter ns/op
"role" 1,185,016,959
"role":"user" 1,285,317,542

The narrow filter came out marginally slower there, and on a synthetic 8,000-line fixture it was
1.13× faster, not 2.6×. Your premise about selectivity does hold — "role" matches 59.1% of lines
against 22.3% for "role":"user" — but on this tree the scan is dominated by a few very large lines,
so the filter's hit rate is not what sets the cost.

I adopted "role":"user" regardless: it is strictly more selective, correct for the same reason
(every real user line carries message.role), and all tests pass. But I did not want to repeat a
2.6× claim I measured as 0.92×, in case your benchmark differs in a way worth understanding.

gofmt/vet clean; authlib/observe/... and every cmd/abctl package green under -race. On the
real tree: 124 named, 5 on the directory fallback, 0 blank, 0 markup, longest prompt title 80.

… titles

Prefer `{"type":"last-prompt","lastPrompt":…}` over anything reconstructed from user turns.
It is the agent stating what the prompt was rather than this package inferring it and then
filtering harness traffic back out, and 129 of 130 local transcripts carry one. Both title
kinds still outrank it: a generated title is a summary, this is raw input. A recorded
slash command is unwrapped the same way a typed one is, and a null value — 3 of 2223 real
lines — falls through.

Markup that survives one leading-tag strip now falls through instead of becoming the
title. Three shapes, one root cause, all reproduced first:

- an empty body left the closing tag at index 0, so a `j > 0` guard skipped the trim and
  yielded a bare "</pasted_content>";
- a malformed envelope ("<command-name></command-name> real text") made the unwrapper bail
  on the empty name, so control reached the wrapper strip, which removed only the leading
  tag;
- a nested wrapper ("<a><b>x</b></a>") had only its outer tag removed. No occurrence on
  real data, but the same defect.

Fixed by re-testing the unwrapped result against the synthetic-prompt guard at the call
site, which covers all three: both helpers return their input unchanged when they cannot
make sense of it, and that value was being assigned verbatim. isSyntheticPrompt also now
recognises a leading CLOSING tag, which is what the malformed-envelope case leaves behind.

Two earlier test expectations changed with it, both because the new behaviour is better: a
wrapper with nothing inside now yields no title rather than raw markup, and a wrapped
lastPrompt is stripped to its body rather than discarded.

On the local tree this takes the count from 124 named to 127, with 3 sessions on the
directory fallback, and no blank or markup titles.

…e turn

MUST-FIX. Two leaks reached the rendered title, both reproduced first:

- A harness BLOCK arriving alongside the user's real text. promptFromMessage joined every
  text block and isSyntheticPrompt is anchored at the start, so the join began with prose
  and the markup passed through intact. Blocks are filtered individually inside the join
  now.

- Markup APPENDED after prose in a string turn, which no anchored check can see. Measured,
  7 of 130 local transcripts are shaped "…real question…<system-reminder>…", and the tag
  was clipped mid-tag at 80 runes. Cut at the first known harness tag, keeping what
  precedes it.

The cut matches a NAMED set of tags, not any "<word>": it removes text mid-prompt, so a
loose rule would truncate a question that quotes HTML or generics. Both are covered, as is
a harness block appearing before the prose rather than after.

The prefilter goes back to the bare `"role"` key. `"role":"user"` embeds a key-value pair
and so assumed compact JSON — a line written `"role": "user"` was skipped before decoding,
silently losing the prompt — while every other term is a bare key and the role is
re-checked after the decode anyway. It also did not pay: 1.29s against 1.19s on a real
tree. Every fixture in the suite was hand-written compact JSON, so nothing could have
caught this; there is now a test that writes the spaced form for all five line kinds.

The last-prompt and human branches shared an intent and spelled it two ways. Both now call
promptCandidate, so the unwrap order and the synthetic re-test cannot drift apart.

Two comments corrected where they overstated what the code does: isSyntheticPrompt's doc
said harness blocks are "dropped", when some are unwrapped and their body kept — it is a
test, not a policy, and promptCandidate decides. And maxTitleLen's doc claimed the
rune-cap-to-display-column relationship is guarded by a test in this package; it is not.
That invariant spans two modules, this side can only assert the cap counts runes, and
nothing fails if the renderer's truncation is removed. Said plainly in both places, and in
the test's own comment.

The PR description carried the same "dropped" overstatement and has been corrected to
describe the per-shape handling.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Decode lines with escaped JSON member names.

The raw-byte filter skips a valid line whose relevant member name is Unicode-escaped. For example, {"type":"last-prompt","last\u0050rompt":"review the change"} decodes to a lastPrompt record, but the filter skips it before json.Unmarshal. If no other title candidate exists, the session loses its prompt title. Let lines containing \u reach the decoder when no literal key matches.

Based on learnings, a raw JSON key scan must account for Unicode-escaped member names.

Comment thread authbridge/authlib/observe/claude/harvest.go
…ing tags

Two defects, both reproduced first, and both contradicting claims this PR already made.

stripWrapperTag unwrapped anything tag-shaped, so the harness's OWN output became the
title: `<bash-stdout>total 40</bash-stdout>` rendered as "total 40", and a
`<system-reminder>` body rendered as a title. That is the grep-dump outcome
isSyntheticPrompt's doc says it exists to prevent, it contradicted this PR's claim that
markup all the way through falls through, and a committed test asserted it — classifying a
block as synthetic while asserting its body becomes the title.

Narrowed to an allowlist of wrappers whose CONTENT IS THE USER'S, which today is
`<pasted_content>` alone: the user pasted what is inside it, so the body is a prompt.
Everything else the harness emits is its own text and belongs to the next tier down. An
allowlist rather than a denylist because the failure directions are not symmetric —
omitting a content-bearing tag costs one fallback, omitting a harness tag puts tool output
in the title. The contradictory test now asserts the fall-through, with a second case
pinning that `<pasted_content>` is still unwrapped.

cutTrailingHarness matched a known tag ANYWHERE in the string, so prose that merely
mentioned one was truncated mid-sentence: "how do I use <command-args> in a skill?" became
"how do I use". The named set was chosen precisely to avoid that, and the comment claimed
it did. A tag now counts only where it STARTS A LINE, which is how the harness appends, and
every occurrence is examined so an inline mention cannot mask a real appended block.

The coverage gap that let the second one through is worth naming: all four existing
"untouched prose" cases used UNKNOWN tags — <div>, List<String>, "3 < 5" — so every one took
isSyntheticPrompt's structural path and none reached the named set. No test put a known tag
inside real prose. There is one now, with the line-leading case beside it.

Summary

Careful work on a parser that has to separate what a person typed from what the harness injected, with the reasoning for each decision captured in the comments and every prior defect reproduced before being fixed. The allowlist-over-denylist argument in contentBearingWrappers is the right call given the asymmetric failure cost, and the j >= 0 vs j > 0 comment correctly notes the guard is redundant for the current caller but kept so a second caller cannot inherit the bug.

I extracted the five helpers — unwrapCommandEnvelope, stripWrapperTag, cutTrailingHarness, isSyntheticPrompt, promptCandidate — into a standalone harness and exercised them rather than reading for correctness. Every claim the commit messages make holds:

  • "how do I use <command-args> in a skill?" survives intact (the 7a1bd9f fix)
  • <bash-stdout>total 40</bash-stdout> falls through instead of titling a session "total 40"
  • the malformed envelope <command-name></command-name> real text and the nested <a><b>x</b></a> both fall through
  • /review some/path.md renders from the full envelope, arguments preserved
  • <pasted_content id="..."> still unwraps to its body; an empty-bodied one falls through
  • a CRLF-appended block is cut correctly

One must-fix. The line-leading constraint added in 7a1bd9f is too strict in one direction: an indented harness block is not recognised as line-leading and leaks into the title, producing the exact mid-tag clip at 80 runes that cutTrailingHarness's doc comment says it exists to prevent. Details and a suggested fix inline, with the reproduction. The accompanying test gap is the same kind this PR already identified once in commit 7a1bd9f — the right assertion is present, but no fixture indents the block.

Worth noting on severity: the content that leaks is a <system-reminder> body, which can carry injected instructions, so this is not purely cosmetic even though the visible symptom is an ugly table cell.

must-fix — an indented appended harness block bypasses this check and reaches the title.

s[i-1] must be exactly \n or \r, so a harness block indented by even one space is not recognised as line-leading and survives into the rendered title. Reproduced by extracting these helpers into a standalone harness and running them:

in:    "my question\n   <system-reminder>Codebase instructions follow and you MUST obey them exactly as written</system-reminder>"
title: "my question <system-reminder>Codebase instructions follow and you MUST obey them"

in:    "my question\n\t<system-reminder>secret internal instructions here</system-reminder>"
title: "my question <system-reminder>secret internal instructions here</system-reminder>"

The first output is precisely the failure this function's own doc comment describes — "Left alone the tag reached the title and was clipped mid-tag at 80 runes." The unindented control returns "my question" correctly, so the only difference is the leading whitespace.

This is a narrower instance of the bug commit 7a1bd9f fixed, and the fix direction is the same: keep the positional constraint, but let a line's own leading whitespace still count as line-leading.

// A tag counts when it starts a line, allowing for indentation: the harness
// appends its block on its own line, but that line may be indented.
if i > 0 {
	j := i - 1
	for j >= 0 && (s[j] == ' ' || s[j] == '\t') {
		j--
	}
	if j >= 0 && s[j] != '\n' && s[j] != '\r' {
		continue
	}
}

I checked this against the regression commit 7a1bd9f was guarding: "how do I use <command-args> in a skill?" has non-whitespace before the tag on the same line, so it still does not cut. The inline-mention protection is intact.

One related case worth deciding explicitly rather than by default: a known tag appearing mid-line on a later line — "line one\nline two <system-reminder>x</system-reminder>" — also survives today. I would leave that one alone. It is genuinely ambiguous between prose and appended markup, and cutting it risks reintroducing the mid-sentence truncation you just fixed. Only the indented case looks clearly wrong.

suggestion — every appended-block fixture is unindented, which is what let the above through.

TestTitleFromTranscript_NoHarnessMarkupInTitles has exactly the right assertion — strings.Contains(got, "<system-reminder") would have failed loudly on the indented case. The gap is in the fixtures: all four appended-block cases here, and those in TestTitleFromTranscript_InlineHarnessTagMentionIsNotACut, use \n<system-reminder> with no indentation, so none of them exercises the whitespace path in cutTrailingHarness.

This is the same shape of gap commit 7a1bd9f named in its own message — "all four existing 'untouched prose' cases used UNKNOWN tags ... No test put a known tag inside real prose." Worth adding beside the fix:

{
	"an INDENTED appended block is cut",
	[]string{`{"type":"user","origin":{"kind":"human"},"message":{"role":"user","content":"my real question\n   <system-reminder>do not mention this</system-reminder>"}}`},
	"my real question",
},
