In the terminal, I still see the path on prompt in venv, and when I use deactivate, venv disappears but I cannot reproduce that in the warp.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Poetry virtual-environment steps using source $(poetry env info --path)/bin/activate, then compare Warp with the default terminal before and after deactivate. Trace Warp's shell integration and prompt handling for the activation and deactivation entry points; done means the prompt shows the environment and directory consistently and removes both after deactivation.

Describe the bug
I cannot figure out why warp works differently compared to terminal here. I am trying to use venv by sourcing because subshells do not support blocks. That is alright. But then, in terminal, I still see the path on prompt in venv, and when I use deactivate, venv disappears but I cannot reproduce that in warp.
To Reproduce
- Create a new folder in any directory using poetry new demo
- cd demo
- Set poetry to configure virtual env inside the project poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
- Create a virtual environment in the folder poetry shell
- Exit out of this subshell because warp does not work in subshells using exit
- Source the virtual environment instead to remain in the same shell source $(poetry env info --path)/bin/activate
- Warp changes location to (.venv) and does not show the directory path any longer (default terminal app does)
- Use deactivate to deactivate the virtual environment. Default terminal app goes back to the directory path and no longer shows .venv. Warp still shows (.venv) and nothing changes.
