Description

### Windows Terminal version

1.23.12811.0

### Windows build number

10.0.19045.6456

### Other Software

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

The problem can't be reliably reproduced, but sometimes when I SSH into some server, even though I explicitly set the title to "Server (SSH)" it later changes to `zsh`.

I have `"suppressApplicationTitle": true` in my settings. [My full settings.json](https://gist.github.com/cool-RR/e209dae05cc8de659de13c2f7698b5f1).

### Expected Behavior

Research direction

The report provides no repository file, test, or entry point; begin with the Windows Terminal title-handling path for the suppressApplicationTitle setting during SSH sessions. Use the supplied settings.json and zsh scenario to investigate, and consider the issue done when the explicitly configured title remains unchanged despite application title updates.
