 **No title regression after a restart**: the cold list right after a DSH restart only carries titles for sessions that hit the persisted projection cache — fork-born and never-checkpointed sessions temporarily fall back to the workspace *basename*, even though the real title still lives in the session log. This plugin remembers each session's **last real wire title** in the browser (a debounced local cache: real changes coalesce into one write) and renders from memory during that window, so `/` grouping keeps working; the moment a session opens, the official data takes over and self-heals.
 
-**Manual cross-device sync (web ↔ desktop app)**: appearance, explicit folders, and toggles live in each device's own browser by default. The settings card adds a "Cross-device sync" section — "Pull from desktop app" on the web / "Pull from web" in the desktop app, with an **overwrite-this-device** or **merge-both-sides** mode (the union keeps each side's unique entries); the other surface's data travels through the host settings store (~/.dsh/settings.yaml, shared by both surfaces). A "Send this device's data" button next to it covers history created before this version — push once, and afterwards every edit is written to the host automatically for the other surface to pull.
