Problem Statement

When Claude Code responds to prompts in terminal it always includes the ⏺ symbol before each response. This also seems to lead to each following line having a 2 space indent.

The impact of this is that copying items from terminal leads to the symbol being included and the 2 space tabs being included.

Example
`
❯ Hello Claude

⏺ Hello!

❯ What is that ⏺ thing in front of your response?

⏺ It's a visual indicator that Claude Code uses to mark the start of an assistant response in the terminal UI. It's purely cosmetic — part of how Claude Code renders output — and not something in the actual text of my responses.

`

Proposed Solution

Add a setting in Claude Code for terminal so I can disable the ⏺ symbol before responses.
