Motivation for this change

Fix a regression with the prompt in Emacs term mode, introduced by #51678.

Before:

[0;tad@curie:~tad@curie:~]$ 

After:

[tad@curie:~]$ 

In gnome-terminal the prompt still updates the window title.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Ah. I misread.

# Emacs term mode doesn't support xterm title escape sequence (\e]0;)
PS1="\n\[\033[$PROMPT_COLOR\][\u@\h:\w]\\$\[\033[0m\] "
else

What is the difference between \\$ and \$ in that context?

One would think \\$ should be an escaped backslash and a dollar sign. That's not how it evaluates, though.
