/buddy off worked for me

/buddy off worked for me

I tried that but Claude Code stopped showing the hint for /buddy for about 1-2 minutes and then annoyingly started showing it again

Can you please remove this extra bloatware. Not sure what it is.
The tips are turned off and this tip still shows up.
Add this too and still showing up. We want 0 distractions!

Thank you for trying out the buddy. It was a small April Fools feature and has been removed in the latest release, so closing this as not planned.
