List/import already preferred the last session_index.jsonl thread_name. Opening the same conversation used the rollout parser only, so the first prompt replaced the Desktop title. Apply the same overlay on detail.

Fixes #457.
Codex Desktop often stores the current thread name in
session_index.jsonland never writesthread_name_updatedinto the rollout. Import then titled the sidebar from the first user prompt.This overlays the latest non-empty
thread_namefromsession_index.jsonl(last write wins) after the rollout parse, on both the list path and the open/detail path. Manual Codeg titles withtitle_lockedare unchanged because that field is applied after import.Includes a test that a later index rename wins over the first prompt for list and detail.
