Add setting to hide/disable the 'Create PR' button in the git status bar

Feature Request

Summary

Add a configurable setting to hide or disable the Create PR button that appears in the git status bar when Claude Code detects a branch diverged from another.

Current Behavior

When on a branch with commits ahead of another (e.g., master ← claudio), a persistent Create PR button appears in the status bar UI. There is no setting to hide or remove it.

promptSuggestionEnabled: false does not affect this button — it only controls suggestion chips in the input area.

Desired Behavior

A setting such as showCreatePrButton: false (or extending promptSuggestionEnabled to cover this button) that allows users to hide the Create PR button from the status bar.

Use Case

Some users manage PRs externally (via CLI, GitHub UI, etc.) and find the persistent button unnecessary UI noise. Others may have workflows where the button is not applicable.

Proposed Setting

// ~/.claude/settings.json
{
  "showCreatePrButton": false
}

I ran into a related problem with this bar: Claude created the PR for me as part of our chat (I didn't click the "Create PR" button in the git status bar), rather confusing. In this case I'd expect to at least see it reflect the next set of steps you could take in this case (e.g. a "View PR", maybe a "Merge PR" option as well).

I completely agree. I don't need this feature at all, but the button often appears late and is frequently pressed accidentally. After the update, the user experience has actually worsened.

Adding a related use case that widens the scope of this issue (and likely covers #56092 too):

When GitHub-CLI commands like gh pr list are executed during a Claude Code session, Claude Desktop renders the output as interactive PR cards (title, branch name, thumbnail, 'Open' button). These cards remain persistent in the chat history even after the underlying PRs are closed and branches deleted — leaving a misleading visual representation of the GitHub state.

Concrete scenario from a current session: I closed 7 PRs in one batch and deleted their source branches in my fork. The cards from earlier gh pr list outputs still show all 7 as if they were live entries, with 'Open' buttons inviting interaction. There's no way to clean this up — the cards are part of rendered tool output and can't be filtered or collapsed.

A broader 'hide tool-output widgets' / 'render tool output as plain text' toggle would address both the status-bar 'Create PR' button (this issue) and these historical rendered cards in one shot. Same UX-decluttering goal, broader effect. Even a per-card 'collapse' or 'mark as historical' option would help significantly.

+1 for any progress on this — willing to test alpha/beta builds.

I am working on several related project and these bars cover half of the chat area. It is annoying in combination because I don't need this function at all and your app fails to use entire window. It leaves small space to work. It is bad ui design, make it optional.

Please allow me to remove this.

I am a single programmer using a local repo and I do not use this feature ever. Please remove it as it is taking up valuable vertical viewing area on my laptop. Thank you.
