It starts with  '\n[\$? = $?]\n ' which means that it prints the exit value
of the last command. Looks like this:

[$? = 0]
where : matthew@MONOLITH
pwd : ~
[61] $ echo hi there
hi there

[$? = 0]
where : matthew@MONOLITH
pwd : ~
[61] $echoi hi

Command 'echoi' not found, did you mean:

  command 'echo' from deb coreutils (8.30-3ubuntu2)

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>


[$? = 127]
where : matthew@MONOLITH
pwd : ~
[61] $

I don't see why you can't write a function that would write the status out
to the history file directly using some kind of comment in it and call that
function in PS1 as the first command. Or maybe you can mess with the
history saving commands to add that. I messed with mine to record PWD in
the history file for each command. You can surf
https://github.com/matthewpersico/personal if you want to try and dig up
how I did that.
