Describe the bug
Hey,
After connecting to a remote server over ssh, everything is OK.
After disconnecting with CTRL-D, and connecting to a second remote server the autocomplete will use the dirs of the first remote server instead of the new one.
This persists over multiple connects and disconnects and only on the actual TAB. In a new tab, if I connect to the second remote server, it will work OK.
Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using ssh multiplex.
PS: this is a follow up to #4574 as it appears to be a different issue. @danielpeng2 asked to open a new issue if needed.
To reproduce
- ssh to remote server
- ls
- cd somedir (with tab)
- ctrl-d
- ssh to other remote server
- ls (confirm that's a different server with a different listing)
- cd someotherdir (with tab)
Expected behavior
Instead of showing the previous dirs and files of the first remote server, it should show the dirs and files of the second remote server.

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.

Start by reproducing the SSH, CTRL-D, and second-connection sequence described in the issue, using the listed macOS, zsh, and bash versions. Trace how autocomplete retains directory state across connections and verify that TAB suggestions come from the current remote server rather than the first one.
