Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

macOS 15.3.2 (24D81)

### Expected behaviour

When prompted to "diff and commit", I expect Q to do a git diff and commit the changes.

```
$ q chat

Hi, I'm Amazon Q. Ask me anything.

Things to try
• Fix the build failures in this project.
• List my s3 buckets in us-west-2.
• Write unit tests for my application.
• Help me understand my git status

/acceptall Toggles acceptance prompting for the session.
/profile (Beta) Manage profiles for the chat session
/context (Beta) Manage context files for a profile
/help Show the help dialogue
/quit Quit the application

> diff and commit

```

### Actual behaviour

Somehow, Q misinterprets this to mean that it should create an AmazonQ.md file.

```

> diff and commit

I'll help you create the AmazonQ.md file in your current directory. Let me first check the directory structure to understand what files
already exist.
```

### Steps to reproduce

Ask Q to "diff and commit" in a folder with git changes.

### Environment

```yaml

```
