[FEATURE] Add config option to disable 'How is Claude doing?' feedback prompt

Status Closed — not planned

Description

The "How is Claude doing this session?" feedback prompt keeps appearing when the terminal is idle. It cannot be easily dismissed and disrupts the workflow.

The irony: I was having a great session and would have rated "Good" — but the persistent, undismissable prompt is so annoying that now I want to rate "Bad". The feedback mechanism itself is creating negative feedback. 😄

Expected behavior

A config option like disableSessionFeedback: true to permanently disable the prompt.

Current behavior

Prompt appears when idle
Cannot be permanently dismissed
No config option exists to disable it
claude config set has no relevant setting

This is NOT a duplicate. All 3 referenced issues (#31305, #19258, #34284) are closed and locked — meaning no one can vote or comment on them.

This creates a loop: new issues get auto-closed as duplicates of old issues that are themselves closed and locked. The feature request never gets addressed.

Please either:

Reopen one of the original issues and keep it unlocked
Or keep this one open

This has been requested since at least October 2025 with 6+ separate issues. A simple disableSessionFeedback config option is all we need.

I asked Claude (Chat) about it and got these suggestions:

environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY=1
put the environment variable into ~/.claude/settings.json to scope it speciically to Claude Code:

  "env": {
    "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY": "1"
  }

a broader setting that includes the feedback survey: CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1
to reduce instead of eliminate the survey, set a probability between 0 and 1 to feedbackSurveyRate in settings.json.
