Description
We should add a new "prompt" motd display mode that leverages our prompt hook infrastructure by adding a mechanism to check for and dump out any $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/shpool/motd.txt file found before deleting it. Then shpool attach can populate this file based on a cooldown the same way we have for pager mode (though the cooldown will be required not optional since we wouldn't want to display this every prompt).

Research direction
Start by tracing the prompt hook infrastructure and the existing pager mode used by shpool attach. Identify where shpool attach applies its cooldown and where prompt output can check $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/shpool/motd.txt; done means a prompt mode reads and deletes that file, with a required cooldown preventing display on every prompt.
