related: fixes Transient prompt #206

Implements transient prompt using Fish 4.1.0's native fish_transient_prompt feature. When enabled, previous prompts are replaced with just the prompt symbol (❯), removing stale contextual info (git status, path) from terminal history.

How to test pre-release?

☠️ Feature can be unstable and break your prompt!

fisher install pure-fish/pure@copilot/implement-transient-prompt
set --universal pure_enable_transient_prompt true

Requires Fish 4.1.0+.

Specs

New config in conf.d/pure.fish

_pure_set_default pure_enable_transient_prompt false

# Enable Fish native transient prompt when pure_enable_transient_prompt is true
if set --query pure_enable_transient_prompt; and test "$pure_enable_transient_prompt" = true
    set --global fish_transient_prompt 1
end

New function _pure_transient_prompt.fish

Renders simplified prompt (colored symbol only) when fish_prompt --final-rendering is called.
