+# C5 — Logging & Capture: a non-blocking, per-session reminder shown inside Kitty
+# when the fish-config scrollback watcher is not yet set up. It never blocks the
+# shell; it simply prints how to enable or silence it. The notice stops once the
+# user runs `kitty-logging install` (a watcher line then exists in kitty.conf) or
+# `kitty-logging dismiss` (sets the universal variable below).
