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 15.4.1 (24E263)
IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1.1.1 (Ultimate Edition)
### Expected behaviour
Quitting IntelliJ should make Q Chat exit graciously, letting Q chat stop any running MCP server container.
### Actual behaviour
When IntelliJ stops, MCP servers keep running in the docker daemon.
(that doesn't happen when Q exits via Cmd+C or /quit)
### Steps to reproduce
1. Launch Q Chat with a docker-based MCP server (try the great `aws-service-authorization-reference-mcp-server`if you haven't given it a try yet)
```
{
"mcpServers": {
"aws-service-authorization-reference": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "psantus86/aws-service-authorization-reference-mcp-server:latest"]
}
}
}
```
2. Exit IntelliJ using Cmd+Q or menu
