Describe the bug

Warp terminal notifications are not triggering system notifications on Linux (Ubuntu), even though all notification settings are enabled in settings. Additionally, I tried using the
claude-code-warp plugin but it also does not produce any notification alerts.

To reproduce

1. Enable all notifications in Warp Settings:

   • Long running command notifications (threshold: 30s)
   • Password prompt notifications
   • Agent task completed notifications
   • Needs attention notifications
   • Play notification sound

2. Run a command longer than the threshold:

   sleep 35                                                                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                  

3. Observe that no system notification appears

4. Verify via D-Bus monitoring:
   dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'"

5. No notification calls are captured from Warp.

6. Attempted to install claude-code-warp plugin:
   /plugin marketplace add warpdotdev/claude-code-warp
   /plugin install warp@claude-code-warp

7. Plugin installed but still no notifications.

Expected behavior

System notifications should appear via D-Bus org.freedesktop.Notifications when:

• A long-running command completes
• Password prompt is required
• Agent task completes
• Terminal needs attention

Other terminals (GNOME Terminal, Alacritty) and applications correctly trigger system notifications on the same system.

Screenshots, videos, and logs

Log export failed:
tar -czf ~/warp-logs.tar.gz -C ~/.local/state/warp-terminal warp.log*
tar: warp.log*: Unable to stat: No such file or directory

tar -czf ~/warp_preview-logs.tar.gz -C ~/.local/state/warp-terminal-preview warp_preview.log*
tar: /home/jade/.local/state/warp-terminal-preview: Unable to stat: No such file or directory

Settings confirm notifications are enabled (~/.config/warp-terminal/user_preferences.json):
"Notifications": "{"mode":"Enabled","is_long_running_enabled":true,"long_running_threshold":{"secs":30,"nanos":0},"is_password_prompt_enabled":true,"is_agent_task_completed_enable
d":true,"is_needs_attention_enabled":true,"play_notification_sound":true}"

System notifications work correctly:
notify-send "Test" "Notification works"

Successfully shows system notification
