Describe the bug

Warp error caused system to write approx 450GB

Closed Django http server with ctrl + c. After a few minutes I noticed the http server did not close, I preceded to force close warp from the activity monitor when warp was unresponsive. The activity bar graph was showing extremely high writes to the ssd, when I closed the warp process the ssd writes stopped.
