Add setting to disable companion (Larder ghost)

Request
Add a companionEnabled: boolean field to settings.json so users can disable the Larder companion ghost globally.
Why
- The companion adds visual noise to the input box without providing workflow value
- There is currently no way to turn it off --
claude config set --global companionEnabled falsefails because the field doesn't exist in the schema - Power users who spend long sessions in Claude Code would benefit from a distraction-free option
Suggested implementation
Add to the settings schema:
{
"companionEnabled": {
"description": "Whether to show the companion ghost (Larder) in the input box (default: true)",
"type": "boolean"
}
}
Then respect the setting in the UI layer that renders the companion.
