Feature request: persistent /buddy off setting in settings.json

Feature Request

The /buddy companion feature introduced for April 1st auto-starts on every new session. Running /buddy off mutes it for the current session only — there is no way to permanently disable it.

Requested Change

Please add a persistent setting to settings.json (e.g. "buddyEnabled": false) that permanently disables the companion without needing to run /buddy off at the start of every session.

Workaround

Currently the only workaround is to add an instruction to CLAUDE.md asking Claude to run /buddy off at session start, which is fragile and relies on Claude reading and acting on the file rather than a hard config setting.

Why

For users who don't want the companion at all, having to mute it every session is friction that a simple config flag would eliminate.
