Development record
The status bar shows no session name (Alice, Bob, ...) although itd-2610111707085098 shipped it in v0.15.1: the product thinker asked on 2026-10-26 for the name to be on the bar. The renderer works: the installed v0.15.1 'abcd statusline', fed a payload carrying session_name 'Alice', renders 'abcd-managed · Alice · abcd · main · ...', and without the field it renders no name. So the live bar lacks the name because the payload the harness hands the status line carries no session_name for these sessions (the field abcd reads may not be the one the harness sends), and sessions started before v0.15.1 never took a persona name at all (they list under names like abcd-0d, while sessions started since, such as Frank and Grace, carry persona names).
