Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Research direction

Reproduce the reported tiny interface on a 4K monitor by opening Warp in WSL2 with the stated Ubuntu version, then compare it with the provided 1080p screenshots. No source files or tests are named, so begin by locating the desktop scaling behavior and verify that the UI scales appropriately without relying only on zoom or font-size changes.
