- PR #141986: fix(agent): count CJK characters when rejecting answer-shaped titles

Members concern how session titles are generated and validated, including a report that the answer-shaped title guard counts whitespace-separated words and so may let Chinese/CJK assistant replies be saved as titles. One related member addresses CJK character counting in that guard, and another addresses fitting titles to the sidebar row.
