Feature Request

The "Claude update available" reminder shown at the bottom of the Claude Code screen is hardcoded and not user-configurable.

Desired Behavior

Allow users to customize the update reminder display — for example, to show a compact emoji (e.g. ⬆️) instead of the full text banner. This would be especially useful for users who are already on a frequent update cadence and find the full banner distracting.

Suggested Implementation

A setting in settings.json such as: "updateNotification": "compact" or "updateNotification": "emoji"

Or integration with the existing statusLine configuration so users can control how update availability is surfaced.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add a user-configurable setting to settings.json to allow customization of the update reminder display.

Guidance

  • Introduce a new setting in settings.json, such as "updateNotification", to store the user's preferred update reminder style.
  • Update the Claude Code screen to read the "updateNotification" setting and display the update reminder accordingly.
  • Consider integrating the new setting with the existing statusLine configuration to provide a unified way for users to control the display of update availability.
  • Verify that the new setting is properly persisted and applied by checking the settings.json file and the Claude Code screen display.

Example

{
  "updateNotification": "compact"
}

or

{
  "updateNotification": "emoji"
}

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the existing codebase and the desired behavior. This guidance provides a general outline of the steps needed to address the feature request.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by introducing a new setting in settings.json to allow users to customize the update reminder display, as this provides a flexible and user-friendly solution.
