[FEATURE] Add option to disable promotional tips/ads during work sessions

Problem Statement

While working in Claude Code, I am shown promotional/advertising tip messages that are distracting and disrupt my workflow. Specifically, I see messages like:

⎿  Tip: Share Claude Code and earn $10 of extra usage · /passes

These promotional tips appear during active work sessions and break my concentration. As a paying user, I expect a distraction-free coding environment without marketing messages embedded in my tool output.

The current workflow interruption is unnecessary and feels like an ad being injected into my development environment.

Proposed Solution

Add a configuration option (e.g., in settings or via a CLI flag) to disable promotional tips and referral messages during work sessions. For example:

• A setting like disablePromotionalTips: true in the Claude Code configuration
• - A CLI flag like --no-tips or --quiet to suppress non-essential messages
• - - At minimum, allow users to permanently dismiss these tips so they don't reappear

The tool output should focus on code-related information only, without marketing or referral program messages.

Alternative Solutions

Currently there is no way to disable these promotional messages. The only alternative is to simply ignore them, but they still take up visual space and create unnecessary noise in the terminal output during active development sessions.

Use Case Example

1. I'm actively debugging a complex issue in my codebase using Claude Code
2. 2. In the middle of reviewing Claude's output, a promotional tip appears: "Tip: Share Claude Code and earn $10 of extra usage · /passes"
3. 3. This breaks my reading flow and adds visual clutter to the terminal
4. 4. I would like to run claude config set disablePromotionalTips true or similar, so these messages never appear during my work sessions
