Allow suppressing/theming the interactive startup welcome (logo · version · "Feature of the week")

Problem
Many of us wrap claude in a custom launcher that prints our own banner/dashboard before starting an interactive session. The built-in startup welcome block — the logo, the Claude Code vX.Y.Z line, the model line, and the rotating "Feature of the week" tip — then renders after our banner and between it and the input prompt, cluttering an otherwise clean start.
What I found (v2.1.167)
--bareremoves the chrome but also disables hooks, CLAUDE.md auto-discovery, MCP, etc., so it is not usable for a configured project.spinnerTipsEnabled: falseandcompanyAnnouncements: []do not remove the startup "Feature of the week" tip nor the version/logo header.CLAUDE_CODE_HIDE_CWD=1removes only the cwd line.- There appears to be no flag/setting to hide or reformat the rest.
Request (any of)
- A "quiet startup" flag/setting that hides the welcome logo/version/tip while keeping hooks, CLAUDE.md, and MCP (everything
--baredisables, but suppressing only the visual chrome). - A setting to disable the startup "Feature of the week" tip specifically (separate from spinner tips).
- Documented theming of the startup logo/text colors (
customThemesexposes aclaudecolor key — confirming it recolors the startup logo would help).
Thanks! — Claude Code 2.1.167
