Summary

frame:title block meta is read and rendered by every block header type except durable shell-controller blocks. BlockFrame_Header gates its entire viewName/title render branch on !useTermHeader, and durable shell blocks (controller: shell with jobcontroller.IsBlockIdTermDurable true) always have useTermHeader === true — so that whole branch, and frame:title along with it, is skipped unconditionally for this block type.

Practical effect: every durable terminal pane on a given connection shows an identical, generic connection-name header, with no way to visually distinguish them — for example several tmux-attached sessions opened on the same remote host via wsh createblock/wsh setmeta frame:title=... all look the same in the tab/pane header, even though setting frame:title succeeds and is visible via wsh getmeta.

Fix

Render frame:title inside the useTermHeader branch too, next to the connection button, so a caller can label a durable session distinctly (e.g. by the tmux session name it's attached to).

Testing

Manually verified against a locally-built app: created a durable shell block via wsh createblock term controller=shell connection=<conn> cmd=... frame:title=<label>, confirmed the header now shows <label> instead of only the connection name.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Durable shell-controller blocks (used by remote/SSH terminal panes,
including via wsh createblock) render their header with useTermHeader
true, which skips the entire viewName/frame:title block entirely - so
frame:title had no effect for these blocks even though it works for
every other block type. This left every durable pane on a given
connection showing an identical, generic connection-name header with
no way to distinguish them (e.g. multiple tmux-attached sessions on
the same host).

Render frame:title inside the useTermHeader branch too, next to the
connection button, so a caller (wsh setmeta / wsh createblock) can
label a durable session distinctly.

Walkthrough

When useTermHeader is true and frame:title metadata has a value, the block frame header renders that value in a block-frame-durable-title element. CSS now truncates the title with an ellipsis when the available header width is limited.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Comment thread frontend/app/block/blockframe-header.tsx
The new frame:title div rendered as a direct child of
block-frame-default-header (outside block-frame-default-header-iconview),
so reusing the block-frame-view-type class name had no effect - that
class's shrink/truncate/min-width:0 rules are scoped as a descendant
selector under the iconview wrapper, which this element isn't inside.
A long frame:title could therefore overflow and push the durable/status
badge and end controls out of the visible header.

Add a dedicated block-frame-durable-title rule with the same shrink,
overflow-hidden, and ellipsis properties, scoped correctly for this
element's actual position in the header.

Addressed the codex/coderabbit overflow finding in 7f5500a: the new frame:title element wasn't actually inside the DOM scope the reused `block-frame-view-type` class's shrink/truncate rules apply to (that class is a descendant selector under `block-frame-default-header-iconview`), so a long title could overflow and push the durable badge/end controls out of view. Added a dedicated `block-frame-durable-title` rule scoped to this element's actual position.
