So what's your secret?

  Ostensibly it’s the same as the Bash example above but because it’s baked into the shell itself I’m able to add a very minimal wrapper around the shells PTY to append some ANSI escape sequences. As an aside, I also started work on a feature in the shell to strip all SGR escape sequences (colour and text formatting) for people who prefer their shell output text only. But that proved a little more problematic because it proved impossible to reliably differentiate between processes that expect a TTY (eg top, lynx, etc) and thus would need to bypass the SGR stripping wrapper, from the processes that don't.
