Feature Request: Allow users to completely disable Pets and remove the Pets entry from the sidebar menu

Summary

Please provide an option to completely disable the Pets feature and hide all Pets-related UI.

Problem

The Pets feature is optional, but its entry is currently integrated into the sidebar menu (next to Usage/account actions). Since I frequently check my usage, I often accidentally click Show Pet instead of the item I intended.

This happens surprisingly often because these actions are located in the same menu.

Proposed solution

Please add one or both of the following:

  • A Disable Pets setting that completely turns off the feature.
  • An option to Hide all Pets-related UI, including removing the "Show Pet" entry from the sidebar menu.

For example:

Settings
  Appearance
    ☑ Enable Pets

When disabled:

  • The pet never appears.
  • The "Show Pet" menu item is hidden.
  • No Pets-related UI is shown anywhere in the application.

Why this would help

  • Prevents accidental clicks.
  • Reduces UI clutter for users who don't use the feature.
  • Makes the application feel more professional for developer-focused workflows.
  • Keeps optional, playful features separate from frequently used productivity features.

This would improve the experience for users who simply want a distraction-free development environment.

Thank you for considering this feature.
