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 15.6.1 (24G90)
### Expected behaviour
When I enter something like:
/knowledge add "k8s-config-docs" /Users/bartvb/projects/k8s-infrastructure/docs
or
/knowledge add "k8s-config-docs" . --index-type Best
or
/knowledge add k8s-config --index-type Best /Users/bartvb/projects/k8s-infrastructure
I expect the tool to start scanning the folder and create a search index of that data.
### Actual behaviour
I always get:
`error: unexpected argument '/Users/bartvb/projects/k8s-infrastructure' found`
### Steps to reproduce
`/experiment` and enable 'knowledge'
Enter:
`/knowledge add "k8s-config-docs" /Users/bartvb/projects/k8s-infrastructure/docs`
