Description

We prefix the shell prompt with a streaming indicator (prefixed emoji to shell prompt, so that user doesn't forget their shell is being shared).

Relevant file:

https://github.com/akshaykmr/teletype/blob/master/src/lib/teletype/index.ts#L81..L84

I've tried precmd_functions approach, it only works for the first prompt (resets on its own).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the precmd functions hook implementation in the teletype source code and test with powerlevel10k to understand why the indicator resets after the first prompt. Check how the teletype plugin integrates with shell prompt rendering and look for existing tests or community solutions.
