Describe the bug
Sometimes, apparently after closing down the app once, Warp won't fully initialize and close down right after opening it. I checked the logs and it looks like it fails to recognize the device.
To reproduce
- Open the app
- Close it down (I experienced it by using
exit) - Try to open it again
Expected behavior
Warp should open up and run correctly

Does this block you from using Warp daily?
Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.
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
Start by reproducing the failure on Ubuntu 23.10: open Warp, exit it with exit, then reopen it and inspect the logs for the device-recognition error. Done means Warp initializes and remains open normally after being closed and relaunched.
