/rename should auto-generate a session name based on conversation context #2292

Description

@schizek

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

/rename requires the user to manually type a session name.

Proposed solution

When running /rename without providing a name, the CLI should use the AI to automatically generate a concise, descriptive
session name based on the conversation history... similar to how Claude handles /rename.

Example prompts or workflows

  1. User has a long debugging session and wants to save it for later:
  2. Types /rename with no arguments
  3. Copilot analyzes the conversation and renames to: "debug-null-pointer-exception"

Additional context

After a long session, users shouldn't have to summarize the conversation themselves. Auto-naming improves session organization and
discoverability without friction.
