Describe the bug
I was in the process of fairly routine git activity and the Warp shell suddenly lost permission to access files and directories. A screenshot of the error message and failure to even run ls is below.
To reproduce
I was doing my usual work, and moved to my browser window. After coming back to warp, I got this issue.
From what i observe, i updated warp one day back and kept on using it normally, until today. To fix this, I went to Systems Setting in mac, Privacy and Security -> Full Disk Access -> Add all permission for Warp ( this operation required restart )
Expected behavior
The shell should keep running with normal permissions.

No
Is this an issue only in Warp?
Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.
