Hacker News rewrites post without consent?

I posted a link to an important Claude Code bug here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45910257 with the original title of "Claude Code Introduces Off-by-One Errors"

It made it to the front page at about #11. Then apparently the editors renamed it to the (less interesting/more convoluted) title of the page it linked to. I didn't cause or approve that change. Why does HN rewrite my post? Is it because it was negative to Claude Code?

It is part of the submission guidelines:

HN is not a social media site. Upvotes for your creative title on an interesting article is not the goal; sharing the interesting article is. Please stop trying to migrate your social media vanity score to one of the last legit forums on the net.

Surely the fact that there is a comment section on user submitted media means this website is social media?

Yes it does and it's super shitty, yet they still continue to show it as if it was submitted by the original poster. I agree this isn't okay.
