Those issues describe different environments — they are not the same bug.
#24744 mentions "Ubuntu web" (web client)
#21474 mentions "Windows" desktop
My issue is specifically on macOS desktop client (1.14.33), stored in ~/Library/Application Support/ai.opencode.desktop/*.dat files.
The root cause is also different: the macOS desktop client stores project metadata in local .dat JSON files. When renaming a project, the new name is correctly held in memory during the session, but the serialization back to the .dat file on disk is never completed — confirmed by reading the raw file after attempting a rename. This is a file persistence failure, not a UI reset issue.
The other two issues appear to be about name display resets (UI state), whereas here the problem is that even the saved file on disk does not contain the new name.
Can this be reopened as a macOS-specific issue? Happy to share the .dat file evidence and reproduction steps specific to the macOS desktop client.
