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

AL2

### Expected behaviour

output does not show italics when a single _ is in the output, if its not meant to be in italics. I assume the output is being markdown formatted, the AI probably needs to be instructed to escape these characters if it doesn't want markdown format?

### Actual behaviour

output shows in italics after a single _ is included in the output, and the _ is excluded

### Steps to reproduce

see screenshot
