[FEATURE] Add setting to remove the ⏺ symbol from Claude Code responses in terminal

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.
