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
### Operating system
macOS 15.4.1 (24E263)
### Expected behaviour
That Q CLI would know best practices for Kotlin testing e.g. using MockK like https://github.com/mockk/mockk/issues/136#issuecomment-419879755 and https://medium.com/@ttlnews/how-to-mock-a-kotlin-static-companion-method-using-mockk-e4cf58607844 and that it would try options that work. I would expect it to consider searching live documentation and issues in situations it was inadequately trained.
### Actual behaviour
Q CLI spun around trying a bunch of options that don't work, until I found and told it the answer.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Write a KT class Foo with a Companion method
2. Write a unit test that tries to operate on that method.
3. Observe that, at least for myself, Q CLI never reaches for mockkObject(Foo.Companion), though it is documented to work. It instead tries a bunch of different options that don't work.
