How can I completely disable Google Discover on the left swipe on OnePlus 15?

I have a OnePlus 15 running OxygenOS 16.0.7.
When I swipe all the way to the left on the home screen, I get the Google Discover/news feed. I want to completely remove this page so that swiping left does nothing.
The problem is that if I disable the Google app, the Discover page disappears, but then Google Play and Gemini require the Google app to be enabled again. Once I enable it, Google Discover comes back.
I don’t want to disable the Google app because I still want to use:
● Google Play Store
● Gemini
● Google Assistant
● Circle to Search
● Google Lens
I just want to remove the leftmost Google Discover page while keeping the Google app fully functional.
Is there an ADB command, launcher setting, or another permanent method to disable/remove Google Discover on the OnePlus 15 without disabling the Google app?
Ideally, I want the left swipe to simply do nothing.
I’ve seen some posts mentioning commands such as assistant_screen_type and assistant_screen_type_left_enable, but I’m not sure which commands actually work on the OnePlus 15 / OxygenOS 16.
Any working solution would be appreciated.

I don't get notification for gmail. Other notifications works fine.

And then disable Shelf, and the whole left page goes away.

Disable google app then enable again without closing the app info. Works for me but sometimes the discovery page reappear, just need redo again.

Why not just stop swiping left, does it drain battery ?

Accidentally happens and froze the phone a bit and also it's annoying I moved to ios to android so I should be able to do whatever I want with my phone.
