Telemetry consent prompt reappears after PC restart despite declining

Description

When declining the "Help improve Claude by sending usage stats" prompt in the TUI, the preference is not persisted. After a PC restart, Claude Code asks the same question again.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Claude Code fresh (or after restart)
2. When prompted about telemetry/usage stats, select "No"
3. Restart the PC
4. Start Claude Code again
5. The telemetry prompt appears again

Expected Behavior

The telemetry preference should be saved and persist across restarts. The prompt should not reappear after declining.

Actual Behavior

The prompt reappears every time after a PC restart, regardless of previous selections.

Investigation

Checked both config files:

• ~/.claude.json - Contains hasCompletedOnboarding: true but no telemetry preference field
• ~/.claude/settings.json - No telemetry-related settings

It appears the TUI response is not being written to disk.

Workaround

Adding to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "DISABLE_TELEMETRY": "1"
  }
}

Environment

• OS: Linux (Ubuntu, kernel 6.14.0-37-generic)
• Claude Code Version: 2.1.x (recently updated)
• Install Method: native
