Describe the bug

I have warp running, and I also have an integrated terminal in vscode. The commands I insert from vscode's integrated terminal don't appear in warp's auto complete, and commands input in warp don't come in vscode. However, vscode's integrated terminal history is available in regular terminal. So it looks like warp is not storing history in the same place as every other terminal?

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

To reproduce

Execute a command from vscode integrated terminal, and try to get to that command from warp by starting to type the command and then clicking the up arrow button.

Expected behavior

I expect the command to appear.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Research direction

Reproduce the history exchange between Warp and VS Code's integrated terminal on macOS Ventura with zsh 5.9, using the command sequence in the report. Investigate where Warp reads and writes shell history versus the shared terminal history; done means commands entered in either terminal appear in the other's history and autocomplete.
