feat(session): auto-title sessions via fast model, add /rename --auto (#3540)
* feat(session): auto-title sessions via fast model, add /rename --auto

The /rename work in #3093 generates kebab-case titles only when the user
explicitly runs `/rename` with no args; until they do, the session picker
shows the first user prompt (often truncated or misleading). This change
adds a sentence-case auto-title that fires once per session after the
first assistant turn, using the configured fast model.

New service: `packages/core/src/services/sessionTitle.ts` —
`tryGenerateSessionTitle(config, signal)` returns a discriminated outcome
(`{ok: true, title, modelUsed}` | `{ok: false, reason}`) so callers can
either handle failures generically or map reasons to actionable messages.
Prompt shape: 3-7 words, sentence case, good/bad examples including a
CJK row, JSON schema enforced via `baseLlmClient.generateJson`.
`maxAttempts: 1` — titles are cosmetic metadata and shouldn't fight
rate limits.

Trigger point: `ChatRecordingService.maybeTriggerAutoTitle` runs after
`recordAssistantTurn`. Fire-and-forget promise, guarded by:

- `currentCustomTitle` — don't overwrite any existing title.
- `autoTitleController` doubles as in-flight flag; a second turn while
  the first is still pending is a no-op.
- `autoTitleAttempts` cap of 3 — the first assistant turn may be a
  pure tool-call with no user-visible text; retry for a handful of
  turns until a title lands. Cap bounds total waste.
- `!config.isInteractive()` — headless CLI (`qwen -p`, CI) never auto-
  titles; spending fast-model tokens on a one-shot session is waste.
- `autoTitleDisabledByEnv()` — `QWEN_DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE=1` opt-out.
- `config.getFastModel()` falsy — skip entirely rather than falling
  back to the main model; auto-titling on main-model tokens is too
  expensive to be silent.

Persistence: `CustomTitleRecordPayload` grows a `titleSource: 'auto' |
'manual'` field. Absent on pre-change records (treated as `undefined`
→ manual, safe default so a user's pre-upgrade `/rename` is never
silently reclassified). `SessionPicker` renders `titleSource === 'auto'`
titles in dim (secondary) color; manual stays full contrast. On resume,
the persisted source is rehydrated into `currentTitleSource` — without
this, finalize's re-append would rewrite an auto title as manual on
every resume cycle.

Cross-process manual-rename guard: when two CLI tabs target the same
JSONL, in-memory state can diverge. Before writing an auto record, the
IIFE re-reads the file via `sessionService.getSessionTitleInfo`. If a
`/rename` from another process landed as manual, bail and sync local
state — never clobber a deliberately-chosen manual title with a model
guess. Cost is one 64KB tail read per successful generation.

`finalize()` aborts the in-flight controller before re-appending the
title record. Session switch / shutdown doesn't have to wait on a slow
fast-model call.

New user-facing command: `/rename --auto` regenerates via the same
generator — explicit user trigger, overwrites whatever's there (manual
or auto) because the user asked. Errors route through
`autoFailureMessage(reason)` so `empty_history`, `model_error`,
`aborted`, etc. each get actionable guidance rather than a generic
"could not generate". `/rename -- --literal-name` is the sentinel for
titles that start with `--`; unknown `--flag` tokens error with a hint
pointing at the sentinel. Existing `/rename <name>` and bare `/rename`
(kebab-case via existing path) are unchanged, except the kebab path now
prefers fast model when available and runs its output through
`stripTerminalControlSequences` (same ANSI/OSC-8 hardening as the
sentence-case path).

New shared util: `packages/core/src/utils/terminalSafe.ts` —
`stripTerminalControlSequences(s)` strips OSC (\x1b]...\x07|\x1b\\), CSI
(\x1b[...[a-zA-Z]), SS2/SS3 leaders, and C0/C1/DEL as a backstop. A
model-returned `\x1b[2J` or OSC-8 hyperlink escape would otherwise
execute on every SessionPicker render; both sentence-case and kebab
paths now route titles through the helper before they reach the JSONL
or the UI.

Tail-read extractor: `extractLastJsonStringFields(text, primaryKey,
otherKeys, lineContains)` reads multiple fields from the same matching
line in a single pass. Two separate tail scans could return a mismatched
pair (primary from a newer record, secondary from an older one with only
the primary set); the new helper guarantees the pair is atomic. Validates
a proper closing quote on the primary value so a crash-truncated trailing
record can't win the latest-match race. `readLastJsonStringFieldsSync`
is its file-reading wrapper — same tail-window fast path and full-file
fallback as the single-field version, plus a `MAX_FULL_SCAN_BYTES = 64MB`
cap so a corrupt multi-GB session file can't freeze the picker. Session
reads now open with `O_NOFOLLOW` (falls back to plain RDONLY on Windows
where the constant isn't exposed) — defense in depth against a symlink
planted in `~/.qwen/projects/<proj>/chats/`.

Character handling: `flattenToTail` on the LLM prompt drops a dangling
low surrogate after `slice(-1000)` — otherwise a CJK supplementary char
or emoji cut mid-pair produces invalid UTF-16 that some providers 400.
`sanitizeTitle` applies the same surrogate scrub after max-length trim,
and strips paired CJK brackets (`「」 『』 【】 〈〉 《》`) as whole units so
a `【Draft】 Fix login` doesn't leave a dangling `】` after leading-char
strip. `lineContains` in the title reader is tightened from the loose
substring `'custom_title'` to `'"subtype":"custom_title"'` so user text
containing the literal `custom_title` can't shadow a real record.

Tests: 46 new unit tests across
- `sessionTitle.test.ts` (22): success/all-failure-reasons, tool-call
  filter, tail-slice, surrogate scrub, ANSI/OSC-8 strip, CJK brackets.
- `chatRecordingService.autoTitle.test.ts` (15): trigger/skip matrix,
  in-flight guard, abort propagation on finalize, manual/auto/legacy
  resume symmetry, cross-process race, env opt-out, retry-after-
  transient.
- `sessionStorageUtils.test.ts` (13): single-pass extractor, straddle
  boundary, truncated trailing record, lineContains, multi-field atom.
- `renameCommand.test.ts` (8): `--auto` success, all reasons, sentinel,
  unknown-flag hint, positional rejection, manual/SessionService
  fallbacks.

* docs(session): design doc for auto session titles

Matches the session-recap design doc shape (Overview / Triggers /
Architecture / Prompt Design / History Filtering / Persistence /
Concurrency / Configuration / Observability / Out of Scope) and adds a
Security Hardening section unique to the title path — titles render
directly in the picker and persist in user-readable JSONL, so
LLM-returned control sequences are an attack surface the recap path
doesn't have.

Captures decisions a code-only reader has to reverse-engineer:

- Why `maxAttempts: 1` (best-effort cosmetic metadata; no retry loop).
- Why `autoTitleAttempts` cap is 3 (first turn can be pure tool-call).
- Why the auto trigger does NOT fall back to the main model but
  session-recap does (auto-title fires on every turn; silently charging
  main-model tokens is a bill surprise).
- Why `titleSource: undefined` stays unwritten on legacy records (no
  rewrite risks silently reclassifying user intent).
- Why the cross-process re-read sits between the LLM await and the
  append (manual wins at both in-process and on-disk layers).
- Why `finalize()`'s abort tolerates a controller swap (in-flight
  identity check).
- Why JSON-schema function calling instead of tag extraction (avoid
  reasoning preamble bleed; cross-provider reliability).

Placed at docs/design/session-title/ alongside session-recap,
compact-mode, fork-subagent, and other per-feature design docs. No
sidebar index update required — the design folder is unindexed.

* test(rename): pin model choice in bare /rename kebab path

Addresses reviewer feedback: the bare `/rename` model selection
(`config.getFastModel() ?? config.getModel()`) had no test pinning
it either way. Previous tests mocked `getHistory: []`, which exits
the function before the model is ever chosen, so a silent regression
to either direction (always-main or always-fast) would pass CI.

Two explicit cases now:
- fastModel set → `generateContent` called with `model: 'qwen-turbo'`.
- fastModel unset → `generateContent` called with `model: 'main-model'`.

The tests intentionally mock a non-empty history so the kebab path
reaches the generateContent call site instead of bailing on empty input.
