Description

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

The prompt indicator text ("Type @ to mention files, # for issues/PRs, / for commands, or ? for shortcuts") is read aloud by screen readers on every prompt submission. As a screen reader user, I have to silence that each time I press Enter to submit a prompt.

Proposed solution

Add a --no-prompt flag (or config option) that suppresses the input hint text.

Benefit: Screen reader users currently hear this hint repeated on every prompt, which slows down their workflow. Suppressing it would make the CLI significantly more efficient and accessible for users who rely on assistive technology.
