Describe the solution you'd like?
I would like to open a bunch of windows / run commands using environment variables instead of hardcoded paths. The hardcoded paths also make launch configurations difficult to share with a team.

Research direction
Start by locating Warp's launch configuration entry point and the code that handles configured windows and commands. Check whether environment-variable expansion already exists, then define how variables should be resolved and verify that shared configurations can replace hardcoded paths without changing existing behavior.
