Description

### How did you install the Amplify CLI?

npm

### If applicable, what version of Node.js are you using?

24.16.0

### Amplify CLI Version

14.5.0

### What operating system are you using?

Windows

### Did you make any manual changes to the cloud resources managed by Amplify? Please describe the changes made.

No manual changes made

### Describe the bug

I have Amplify Gen 1 backend application. Running `amplify init` is taking 10+ mins. Same thing with amplify push. However, if I disconnect my internet after a minute or so of running `amplify init`, the init process completes instantly

### Expected behavior

`amplify init` must initialize the environment quickly as earlier. Most likely some backend endpoint is removed(down) and the application is stuck waiting for network calls

### Reproduction steps

Run `amplify init` in a Gen 1 backend application

### Project Identifier

Research direction

Start by reproducing the delay with `amplify init` and `amplify push` in a Gen 1 backend application on Windows, first with the reported Node.js and Amplify CLI versions. Trace the CLI entry points and network calls used by those commands; done means both commands complete promptly while connected, with a regression test covering the stalled request behavior.
