Describe the bug
Windows 11 25H2 introduced simple TUI text editor edit.exe (C:\WINDOWS\system32\edit.exe ). It is even part of new versions of windows native containers. It works in all tested terminals and over SSH, but in Warp in looks like tab is just hanged/stuck.
To reproduce
Update Windows 11 to 25H2, open Warp PowerShell tab, start edit.exe
Expected behavior
edit.exe works correctly on Windows (start/use menu/edit/save/exit).
