Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported brew uninstall --cask warp failure with brew-browser 0.5.0 and Homebrew 6.0.9, using the stderr excerpt as the expected failure case. Trace the uninstall entry point and determine how the existing App state is handled; done means the affected app can be uninstalled and then installed again.
