fix(session): title a pasted opening message by its first line

A session whose opening message was a paste was titled with the paste's
own opening tag, e.g. <pasted_content id="8f8e">, and kept it under
first-wins.

Unwrap a leading <pasted_content> (with or without attributes; the close
carries the id too) before a line is chosen, both inside a ,
or body and as a bare message. Only
pasted_content is unwrapped, as in the harvester's contentBearingWrappers.
A line that still opens with a tag names nothing.

Closes #1492

Summary

Fixes #1492. A Claude Code session whose opening message is a paste was titled <pasted_content id="8f8e">. That is the paste's opening tag, not anything the user wrote, and first-wins kept it for the rest of the session.

Claude Code's title-generation request wraps the opening message in <session>…</session>. The <session> row passed its body straight to firstLine, and that body's first line was the paste tag. No rule in core/session recognised <pasted_content>, so a bare pasted message failed the same way through the generic prose rule.

Changes (core/session/title.go)

  • New titleRules row for a message that opens with <pasted_content, at rankUserMsg. A longer tag name such as <pasted_contents> is not treated as a paste, so the message keeps its own words.
  • takeFirstLine unwraps a paste that opens a <session>, <conversation> or <bash-input> body before choosing a line. Other wrappers inside those bodies are unchanged.
  • unwrapPaste is a local, paste-only copy of the harvester's stripWrapperTag. The proxy deliberately does not import the harvester.
    • The opening tag may carry attributes.
    • The close tag is matched by name, because it carries the id too (</pasted_content id="8f8e">).
    • A missing close tag runs the body to the end of the message.
    • A truncated opening tag is treated as markup.
  • pasteLine / opensWithTag re-check the chosen line. If it still opens with a tag, it names nothing (rankNone) instead of becoming the title. That covers an empty body, a nested wrapper and a leftover close tag. Trade-off: a paste whose first line is HTML names nothing, and the walk looks at the next message.
  • quickRank is unchanged. The new row ranks rankUserMsg, which is already the screen's default guess, and unwrapping can only lower a rank. TestScreenedRules_CoversEveryHighRankingTag still holds.

For the event in the issue, the title is now The list screener is showing, which is also what the harvester would choose.

Tests

  • TestSessionTitle_PasteYieldsItsFirstLine:
    • the live <session>-wrapped event, verbatim
    • a bare paste
    • text after the close tag
    • no attributes
    • a close tag without the id
    • no close tag at all
  • TestSessionTitle_PasteThatIsStillMarkupNamesNothing:
    • empty and blank bodies, bare and inside <session>
    • a nested <bash-stdout>
    • a truncated opening tag
    • a fold check that a later event's real prompt still names the session
  • TestSessionTitle_PasteUnwrapIsNarrow:
    • prose that mentions the tag partway through
    • <pasted_contents>
    • <bash-stdout> inside <session> (unchanged)
    • a paste whose first line is is 3 < 5 in Go?

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Session titles now use the first line of leading pasted content, including when it appears inside a session wrapper. Empty or markup-only pasted content no longer becomes a title, allowing a later prompt to provide one.
    • Pasted-content detection remains limited to a leading wrapper, so ordinary text mentioning the wrapper and similarly named tags retain their existing title behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Session title extraction now recognizes a leading <pasted_content> wrapper in plain messages and existing first-line envelopes. It uses the first body line unless that line begins with tag-shaped markup. Added tests cover valid, empty, nested, truncated, and non-leading wrappers.

Changes: Paste-aware title extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recognize and extract paste titles
core/session/title.go, core/session/title_test.go
Title selection extracts the first body line from a leading pasted-content wrapper, including inside existing first-line envelopes. Tests cover wrapper boundaries and cases that yield no title.

Explanation

The title "fix(session): title a pasted opening message by its first line" matches the main change. The raw summary and PR objectives both say a leading <pasted_content> wrapper is unwrapped and its first line becomes the session title in core/session/title.go. The title is specific and concise, and it follows a conventional commit style. It does not describe unrelated work. The title does not mention the tag-shaped-markup fallback or the narrow unwrapping rule, but the PR does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1492 requires paste unwrapping before title selection. core/session/title.go adds a leading &lt;pasted_content rule for bare messages and unwraps the same wrapper inside &lt;session&gt;, &lt;conversation&gt;, and &lt;bash-input&gt; bodies. unwrapPaste supports attributes, ID-bearing or missing close tags, and rejects longer tag names. pasteLine rejects empty results and remaining markup. quickRank remains unchanged. The added tests cover the reported event, bare and wrapped pastes, markup cases, and narrow unwrapping.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to paste-aware session title extraction and its tests in core/session. The tests support the linked issue. No unrelated agentop harvest configuration work or unrelated wrapper unwrapping was added.

Select the paste’s opening content before checking for markup.

firstLine can prefer a later heading over the paste’s first non-blank line. For <pasted_content>\n<bash-stdout>out</bash-stdout>\n# Heading\n</pasted_content>, pasteLine returns Heading instead of rejecting the opening markup. A paste that starts with prose can likewise receive a later heading as its title. Select the first non-blank body line before applying the markup check, and keep heading selection for envelopes that need it.

Recognize uppercase tag names as markup.

If a paste starts with <DIV>text</DIV>, opensWithTag returns false because its name scan accepts only lowercase letters. The tag then becomes the session title instead of naming nothing. Accept uppercase letters in the tag-name scan and add a corresponding paste test.

A tightly-scoped fix for #1492: pastes that opened a session were titling it with the paste's own opening tag. The PR unwraps a leading <pasted_content> wrapper in both the enveloped (<session>/<conversation>/<bash-input>) and bare cases, re-tests the resulting first line so a nested wrapper or lone close tag still names nothing, and leaves every other wrapper and every look-alike tag (<pasted_contents>, prose mentioning the tag) alone.

Independent verification: ran a scratch probe on the branch exercising leading whitespace, CRLF, newline-in-open-tag, HTML body, nested wrapper, attribute-containing->, same-line body, truncated open, close-with-prose-after, and envelope variants. Confirmed the live <session>-wrapped paste titles correctly, a bare paste works, and the known tradeoffs behave as the PR describes (HTML-opening paste names nothing, nested wrapper names nothing). Noted two very narrow quirks inline.

// rankUserMsg, so quickRank needs no comparison for it: its fall-through already guesses that, and
// unwrapping can only settle lower. The open is matched without its `>` so attributes are allowed;
// unwrapPaste rejects a longer tag name, and the message then keeps its own words.

nit: a bare paste with leading whitespace before <pasted_content falls through this rule and keeps the raw tag as the title. The enveloped path trims (strings.TrimLeft in takeFirstLine), the bare path does not. In practice Claude Code sends the paste as the first bytes, so it is unlikely to hit — mentioning for the record.

nit: strings.IndexByte(rest, '>') stops at the first >, so an attribute whose value contains > (e.g. id=">">) titles the session with the attribute remnant. Ids in the harness are hex, so this is theoretical — worth a line of comment if you want it on record.
