+# Terminal title loading QA
+
+Linux Chromium with an isolated real daemon. Before the change, reloading a manually renamed terminal produced ["Terminal", "My named terminal"]. Afterward the same journey produced ["", "My named terminal"], with the empty text occupied by the existing loading skeleton. First workspace visit and warm switching passed too.
+
+Screenshots show the changed app during loading and after loading. Real metadata responses were held briefly only for these screenshots. The failing-before/passing-after regression and separate renamed/OSC-title QA used normal response timing.
+
+No Windows, macOS, Electron, or native mobile runtime coverage is claimed. This does not establish a fix for issue #4521.
