[DOCS] Settings page missing /config toggle for showTurnDuration

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

Section/Topic

The showTurnDuration row in the "Global config settings" table.

Current Documentation

The settings page documents showTurnDuration as:

"Show turn duration messages after responses, e.g. 'Cooked for 1m 6s'. Default: true. Edit ~/.claude.json directly to change"

The adjacent terminalProgressBarEnabled row correctly notes: "Appears in /config as Terminal progress bar."

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.79 added a "Show turn duration" toggle to the /config menu. The docs still instruct users to edit ~/.claude.json directly, which is now incomplete. The parallel row for terminalProgressBarEnabled already follows the correct pattern by noting its /config appearance, but showTurnDuration lacks the same note.

Suggested Improvement

Update the showTurnDuration description to match the pattern used by terminalProgressBarEnabled:

Before:

"Show turn duration messages after responses, e.g. 'Cooked for 1m 6s'. Default: true. Edit ~/.claude.json directly to change"

After:

"Show turn duration messages after responses, e.g. 'Cooked for 1m 6s'. Default: true. Appears in /config as Show turn duration"

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
