Describe the bug

Everytime Warp detects that an update is available and you let it install the update, it closes, then shows en error dialog.
You have to then restart warp again, goto help, install update, then it works.

Not a nig problem, but still annoying since you update frequently.

To reproduce

Get an update available notification.
Install the update.
Warp closes, then an error dialog is shown.
This has been like this for as long as I am using warp.

Start Warp again
Goto Help, install update
Warp closes and update runs through fine.

Expected behavior

Update should run without error the first time.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this an issue only in Warp?

Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.
