Research direction
Start by locating Warp's terminal input handling for Ctrl+C and its text-selection copy behavior. Verify how the current keypress is routed when text is selected versus when a process is running, then define completion as copying selected text while preserving process termination when nothing is selected. Add or update coverage for both cases if the relevant test entry point is found.
