Describe the bug

I'm running warp-terminal on my debian-12 laptop and running htop displays multiple processes (with different process ids) are running in parrallel. I'm curious to know why. I expected to have a single process for a single instance of the terminal.

If this is not a bug, It would be great if somebody can explain me the reason for this. Perhaps share some links that I can check out to learn about this.

To reproduce

1. Click on the warp-terminal icon to launch it.
2. Run htop in a tab and you'll see multiple processes of warp-terminal.

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.
