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 15.6.0 (24G84)

### Expected behaviour

Expected to load the conversation saved with /save without errors

### Actual behaviour

Trying to import three previously saved conversations yields the error:
Failed to import from ./conversation.md: missing field `timestamp` at line 21 column 7
Always the same field and location (21,7) - however, after manually adding a synthetic timestamp to the specified location the error moves forward in the file.

### Steps to reproduce

Save from a pre 1.13.2 version of Q Chat CLI then reload with current version
Missing timestamp error should happen
Adding timestamp manually fixes error though this is time consuming and error prone
