claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Add toggle to hide active PR card in Code session chat footer

Problem Statement

Context

QA engineer using Claude Code Desktop app daily for test automation work (Katalon Studio scripts, TestRail integration). Multiple long-running sessions tied to GitHub repos with active PRs.

The Problem

When a Code session is connected to a GitHub repo with an open PR, a PR card is permanently displayed in the chat footer — directly above the message input box:

🔀 Open | #5 feat/sprint-4c-4d-cross-session-profile-edit | +5,287 -2 | CI

This card is persistent and cannot be dismissed.

Why this is a problem

1. Always-visible UI element competing for attention with conversation content during long sessions
2. Not actionable in many workflows — many users don't manage PRs from the Desktop app; they use GitHub web UI or CLI
3. No setting exists to hide it — checked Settings panel thoroughly
4. Different from existing requests — prior issues (#34194, #39497, #18475, #31475) focused on sidebar diff stats or status footer. This is specifically about the PR summary card above the input box, which is a separate UI element

What I'd want

A simple setting under Settings > Claude Code > Display (or similar) with a toggle:

• Show active PR card in session footer

Default can stay ON to preserve current behavior for users who like it.

Who this affects

• QA / testing engineers running long debugging sessions
• Users with many active PRs across multiple branches
• Anyone who manages PRs outside the Desktop app (GitHub web UI, CLI, IDE extensions)
• Non-IDE workflows (documentation, ops, knowledge management)

Proposed Solution

Add a user setting to toggle visibility of the active PR card in the chat footer. See above for details.

Alternative Solutions

Auto-hide the card when the user starts typing, or after N seconds of inactivity. But a simple settings toggle is cleaner and more predictable.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example

Every Claude Code session I open against a repo with active PRs. The card takes ~10% of vertical screen space and never goes away.
