Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
codex-cli 0.154.0
What feature would you like to see?
[tui]
whimsy = false
I shouldn't have to add this to the config file to get rid of the stars when using Astra
It should be off by default, it looks bad, I thought my screen was glitching

Research direction
Start by locating the configuration handling for the [tui] whimsy setting and the Astra star effect in codex-cli. Change the default so whimsy is disabled when unset, then verify that Astra starts without stars while an explicit whimsy = true setting still enables them.
