You can turn that off (I do). In your config file:

    [snapshot]
    auto-track = "none()"

Auto-tracking could be a great default in certain projects, and a terrible one in others. jj doesn't require it at all and is still awesome without it.

Bonus tips:

    # show help by default, as the subcommands do
    [ui]
    default-command = "-h"

    # more readable log (also affects jjui)
    [templates]
    log = 'builtin_log_oneline'
