[FEATURE] Please make the visibility of `/cost` / `/usage` configurable so that it can be retained in the .jsonl logs

Problem Statement

The /cost / usage command used to be a persistent part of the conversation, and it produced an entry in the .jsonl log for a session.

Sometime in the last few months this was changed, and now /cost / /usage brings up an ephemeral display that disappears when you press Esc, and it is invisible to the .jsonl logs.

Please make this configurable. When I type /cost I don't just want to see token usage now, I want the value displayed to be something persistent that I can see later in a transcript.

Proposed Solution

There should be a setting that allows /cost and /usage to retain their old behavior, showing up in the terminal conversation and the .jsonl log, not disappearing.
