Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating Warp's prompt rendering and subshell handling, then clarify the display format and how the active subshell context is identified; done means the prompt visibly distinguishes subshell contexts without requiring extra commands.

Describe the solution you'd like?
Warp Team,
I would love to have the option to display in my prompt that I am in a SubShell so that I can see what context I am currently using in the given SubShell. This would be especially helpful for those of us who are popping SubShells with specific commands, i.e. when creating a subshell through AWS-Vault to assume roles, or if someone is operating in a network namespace.
A few options I had for display could be:
(SubShell) $ username@warp ~
(SubShell: <command to get subshell>)
$ username@warp ~
This would be extremely helpful to me because I constantly am changing subshells throughout my workday to access various cloud resources, and it can be confusing without running additional command(s) to remember which context I would be in at that given time
Thanks Team!
