Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Windows Terminal Preview with Narrator using the listed rename-tab shortcut, then inspect the Rename Tab/Window edit-field UI. Done means the tab-title field and the Window 1 dialog field expose descriptive names, such as “Rename Tab Title,” when announced by the screen reader.
