Screenshots, videos, and logs
Agent Mode intermittently fails to execute commands when connected via SSH from Windows 11 to a Debian Linux remote host. Terminal Mode continues working normally throughout, confirming the SSH connection itself is stable.
Symptoms:
• Agent executes 5-10 commands successfully • Then randomly stops responding showing the command but not execute it (command appears but isn't run) • Usually the unexecuted command is shown with a circle with a diagonal line inside (as shown in the screenshot) • Terminal Mode (#) works perfectly at all times • Sometimes typing continue allows the agent to resume • Other times requires opening a new Warp window • Session may continue without problems, or sympthom may reapear • Another unexpected behaviour is that the command executes, but Warp is not able to read the output.
To Reproduce
- Environment: Windows 11, PowerShell 5.1
- SSH into Debian Linux server: ssh -i "path/to/key" user@host
- Warpify the session (Ctrl+I)
- Use Agent Mode (@) for multiple commands (file reads, edits, shell commands)
- After random number of successful commands, agent hangs
Expected behavior
Agent Mode should reliably execute commands in SSH sessions, just as it does locally and as Terminal Mode does over the same SSH connection.
Environment
• Warp Version: v0.2025.12.03.08.12.stable_05 • OS: Windows 11 (PowerShell 5.1.26100.7462) • Remote: Debian GNU/Linux (6.1.0-34-amd64), Bash • Remote bash config: Clean, no complex prompts or scripts • SSH: Standard OpenSSH with key authentication
Additional context
• This is NOT an SSH connection issue - Terminal Mode works flawlessly • Remote .bashrc is minimal (checked with grep for problematic patterns - none found) • Similar to #7609 but distinct: that issue is local Windows 11, this is SSH-specific • SSH connection has keepalive configured (ServerAliveInterval 60)
Does this block you from using Warp daily?
No, but Agent Mode over SSH is unreliable, forcing frequent window restarts or manual Terminal Mode usage.
Is this a Warp-specific issue?
Yes, confirmed Terminal Mode works perfectly in the same SSH session.
