Description

The keyboard shortcut tip shown at the top of the session list screen keeps appearing even after setting "spinnerTipsEnabled": false in ~/.claude/settings.json.

Example:
Your conversation moved to the background — enter opens it · esc returns to it · ctrl+c twice quits

Investigated locally: the top-of-feed tip is controlled by a separate flag, tengu_desktop_upsell.enable_shortcut_tip, cached under cachedGrowthBookFeatures in ~/.claude.json. It's server-controlled via GrowthBook and re-syncs on launch, so there's no local/user-facing setting to turn it off — spinnerTipsEnabled only affects the spinner tips, not this one.

Expected: A single settings toggle (or the existing spinnerTipsEnabled) should suppress all tip surfaces, including the top-of-feed shortcut tip — or a documented separate setting should exist for it.

Actual: Top-of-feed shortcut tip keeps showing regardless of spinnerTipsEnabled, with no local override available.
