C6 — Greeting and First-Run UI

Component                  What it shows
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
First-run welcome banner   One-time message on first interactive session
fish_greeting override     Empty function defined late in config.fish to
                           suppress distro greetings (e.g. CachyOS sets
                           fish_greeting to fastfetch by default)

When C6 is disabled, no greeting is printed by this config. Any greeting set by the distro or other configs runs normally — this config simply does not override it.

Sub-categories

__fish_config_op_greeting sub-divides into two sub-categories, each with its own __fish_config_op_greeting_<slug> toggle:

first-run

The first-run welcome banner.

greeting-message

The per-session fish_greeting override.
