  2. create a conversation in agent canvas or view an existing conversation
  3. go to the Rename option and change the title
  4. Appears to save successfully, but reverts to original title without the change

Investigate the conversation rename API call and state update flow. Check if the optimistic update reverts correctly on failure or if the response is not properly handled.
