Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the tmuxp freeze command and its window_name handling; verify the current $SHELL behavior and identify the relevant tests. Done means a session rooted at ~/project/project_name uses project_name as its window name.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Instead of using $SHELL for window_name's, use the directory name. e.g. ~/project/project_name should have window_name of project_name
