Describe the bug

When opening shell scripts with Warp (on the latest version), instead of being executed, they are opened in Warp's text editor. My example is by using a host management app named XPipe which generates shell scripts and runs them in Warp.

To reproduce

If (by chance), you are using XPipe:

  1. Open XPipe
  2. Click on a host

Otherwise, just open a shell script using Warp as the app.
It will open the text editor instead with the script, instead of running it.

Expected behavior

In earlier versions, it works as expected: When launching a script, it's being run, not opened in Warp's text editor. It seems that downgrading Warp to v0.2026.03.25.08.24.stable_09 does the trick for the moment, scripts run as usual. So the problem started in the latest version of Warp v0.2026.04.01.08.39.stable_02.
