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

Linux 6.12.0-55.27.1.el10_0.x86_64 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 (Coughlan)

### Expected behaviour

To initiate a q chat.

### Actual behaviour

```
$ q chat
error: Bad file descriptor (os error 9)
```

### Steps to reproduce

Hello,

I have installed Amazon Q on Red Hat 8 and Red Hat 10 using the `q.zip` installer.
After registering it, the chat errors out with `error: Bad file descriptor (os error 9)`

I have not found anyone else having this issue on Github and I was hoping if anyone have seen this issue.

Thank you,
Gabe Virga
