Description
Description
When installing craft, the primary site name is used instead of the system name (sometimes). So when I browse to the admin login screen, the title displayed is the primary site. Same for the label in the top left corner of the control panel.



This behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the system name (defined in the yaml config) is honored. Not sure what is causing this issue but ideally, the system name should always be used I think.

The issue identifies no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the installation with the YAML-defined system name and check the admin login title and control-panel label. Done means both consistently display the system name rather than the primary site name.
