Feature Request: Allow customization of startup 'warping...' message

[mcollard0]

Summary

I would like to be able to customize the 'warping...' message that appears when Warp is starting up or initializing.

Use Case

Proposed Solution

Add a configuration option in the user preferences (similar to how themes and other UI elements are customizable) that allows users to:

1. Set a custom startup/loading message
2. Optionally disable the startup message entirely
3. Perhaps include some preset fun alternatives alongside the custom option

Current Behavior

The 'warping...' message is hardcoded and cannot be changed through any configuration options.

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to customize this message through:

• Settings UI in Warp
• Configuration file editing
• CLI parameter (optional)

Additional Context

This would be a nice quality-of-life improvement that adds to Warp's already excellent customization options. Many users enjoy personalizing their development environment, and this would be another way to make Warp feel uniquely theirs.

Platform: Linux (Ubuntu)
Warp Version: Preview build

I'm starting work on product and tech specs for this issue.

You can view the conversation on Warp.

I created a new spec PR for this issue.

Preview generated specs:

• Product spec: specs/GH7342/product.md
• Tech spec: specs/GH7342/tech.md

Next steps:

• Review the spec PR and confirm that the proposed approach looks right.
• Request or make any needed spec updates before moving on to implementation.
