Research direction
Reproduce on macOS by opening Settings → Appearance, changing Window Opacity below 100, then changing content or layout. Start by tracing the window-opacity and rendering behavior described in the issue; done means content updates without recursive afterimages, slow fade-out, or stop-motion artifacts.

Describe the bug
Warp recursively renders its own content as if it was a background. All previous renders are combining with some very slow fade-out.
Moreover, this looks like some kind of stop-motion with slow update frequency of renders
To Reproduce
- Open Warp
- Go to "Settings -> Appearance"
- Set "Window Opacity" to any value except
100 - Exit Settings
- Try any action which changes content or the overall layout
- Execute commands and watch their input
- Open various panels and panes
- Resize the window
- Move the window around
