What is the idea?

[extracted from conda issue # 10928]

While we do not want to default to not showing the (base) env name displayed on the terminal prompt (which is what the issue linked above is requesting) as this is expected behavior, it would be ideal to add a more detailed message upon conda or miniconda installation saying that this will happen, as well as also possibly update the documentation.

Why is this needed?

It would provide more information upon installation and would explain why the terminal prompt has changed.

What should happen?

I guess we are talking about this block:

https://github.com/conda/constructor/blob/de1ce16c62ff4d748e2d4a8046e923d3136e14db/constructor/header.sh#L577-L625

It should also say something about the initialization on batch mode, if it applies.

We also have conclusion_text now, which would allow installer providers to specify their own text, but I agree this is too tied to conda to depend on just plain text messages which are not aware of the context or options used.
