Subject: [PATCH] fix: a new side chat is named "New Chat" instead of its first
 message (#34368)

Since a recent dev change, sending the first message of a new side chat saved it as "New Chat". With automatic title generation off it kept that name on the side chat's tab and in the chat list; with it on, the name only changed once the generated title arrived. A new side chat is named after its first message again, and one whose first message is only a file, with no text, keeps "New Chat" as before.

Fixes #34366
