Renamed project display name is inconsistently applied across Codex UI

When creating a Codex project from an existing folder, I renamed the project to a friendly display name. The sidebar correctly shows the renamed project name, but other user-facing parts of the UI continue to use the underlying folder name / workspace slug.

This makes the rename feel incomplete and creates two competing project identities in the UI.

Example:

• Folder path: /Users/garyl/Projects/EventManagement
• Underlying folder/workspace name: EventManagement
• Project display name I set: Event Management System

Observed behavior:

• Sidebar project list shows: Event Management System
• Other project UI surfaces still show: EventManagement
• The empty-chat prompt shows: What should we build in EventManagement?

Expected behavior:

Once a project is renamed, user-facing UI should consistently use the project display name:

Event Management System

The folder basename/path can still be shown as secondary metadata where relevant, but it should not replace the user-chosen project name in prominent UI.

Actual behavior:

Codex appears to use both names interchangeably:

• Event Management System as the sidebar display name
• EventManagement as the workspace/project name in other UI surfaces

Why this matters:

The rename UI implies that the friendly display name is the project’s user-facing identity. Continuing to show the folder slug after rename makes it look like the rename did not fully apply.

Renaming the underlying directory is not a practical workaround because local paths may be referenced by scripts, tools, bookmarks, terminal sessions, other apps, or existing workflows.

Suggested fix:

Use the renamed project display name consistently across all user-facing project UI, including:

• Empty-chat welcome prompt
• Chat headers / project selector
• Breadcrumbs or workspace labels
• Search/sidebar grouping labels
• Any other prominent project identity surfaces

Keep the folder path or basename visible only as secondary technical metadata where it is useful.
