Additional context
Documentation on --temporary from set-window-title as per kitty 0.33.1:
--temporary
By default, the title will be permanently changed and programs running in
the window will not be able to change it again. If you want to allow other
programs to change it afterwards, use this option.
This option was working at some older kitty version as I use it in a script.
