Description
Version: T3 Code 0.0.39, macOS.
Steps: Import existing Codex sessions through onboarding when their transcripts begin with an injected <recommended_plugins> block.
Actual: Multiple tasks are titled <recommended_plugins>.
Expected: Use Codex’s saved task title, or derive a title from the actual user request after excluding injected context.
Cause: AgentSessionScanner.ts derives the title from the first user message’s first line.
The same logic remains in nightly v0.0.40-nightly.20260907.1346. PR #10446 addresses JSON-wrapped generated titles, not this import issue.

Research direction
Start in apps/server/src/project/AgentSessionScanner.ts around lines 489-495, where imported session titles are derived from the first user message. Reproduce the onboarding import with a transcript beginning with an injected <recommended_plugins> block and inspect how the saved title or actual user request is available. Done means imported tasks no longer use that injected block as their title and instead use the saved title or request-derived title.
