[FEATURE] Configurable feedback survey frequency and triggers

Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

EDIT

Update - I think all that is needed is the following for the survey to not be too intrusive for new users
A hint to not press enter immediately after entering the number

When i entered a number and pressed enter immediately then it became a prompt to claude and not the survey so the survey stayed

When on the other hand I pressed a number and waited (not pressing enter) then the syrvey consumed my input and went away

Problem Statement

Currently the session quality survey ("How is Claude doing this session?") either shows
up constantly or can be fully disabled via CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY=1.
There is no middle ground.

## Desired Behaviour

The survey goes away when answered and does not reappear until at least 20 minutes of active work

## Why

The survey is useful feedback — but appearing too frequently during a session is
disruptive.

Proposed Solution

(Edited after I noticed that The problem goes away if I do not press enter immediately after pressing the reply number)

Add a hint to the user to not press enter after inputting the survey answer and the survey result will be consumed by the survey

Alternative Solutions

Suppress or delay enter for a short while (testing will determine how long time is needed, but I guess maximum 2s) after pressing a single number between 0 and 3 when a survey is up

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example

Example scenario

  1. I'm working on a feature and want to focus and have as much of the Claude code UI as possible working for me
  2. With this feature I would not have this part nearly constantly taking up valuable screen real estate

---------------------
How is Claude doing this session? (optional)
1: Bad 2: Fine 3: Good 0: Dismiss
---------------------
