## Message

```
agent_ui: Use the thread title for agent notifications (#59377)

The agent-waiting notification heading was hardcoded to the agent id,
showing "claude acp" for external agents. Use the thread's own title,
which external agents now provide via session info updates, and fall
back to the agent id only for threads that aren't titled yet.

# Objective

- External agent notifications were just headed generically I.e. "claude
acp". There was a TODO in the code to use the thread name, so that it's
clear which thread actually produced the notification.

## Solution

- Use the thread name, seems it was inscope in the code already from a
previous change.

## Testing

Tested manually by triggering a notification and seeing the thread name
instead of acp-claude.
