Description
Dupe Check
- I have searched Warp bugs and there are no duplicates
Describe the bug
Despite history files existing, several shell env changes, history in Warp isn't retained.
The question then is: Where is the actual history preference set within Warp?
To reproduce
- Use wap
- Execute several "similar" commands like
curl ... - Expect warp to recall older curl commands
Expected behavior
Warp should remember everything since the beginning of time :)

Does this block you from using Warp daily?
No
Is this an issue only in Warp?
Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Research direction
No source file, test, or history entry point is named in the report. Start by locating Warp's command-history persistence and preference handling for macOS with zsh, then reproduce the issue with repeated similar curl commands and existing history files. Done means previously entered commands are retained and recallable as expected.
