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 10.15.7 (19H2026)

### Expected behaviour

When I click on the Kiro Menu Icon on Macos Catalina and I click on the "Settings" item in the dropdown menu, then Kiro Dashboard should open and display all options.

### Actual behaviour

I am running MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina). I have the latest version of kiro-cli 1.21.0 installed. The Kiro Dashboard (the menu bar icon) does not open when you click on "Settings". It launches what appears to be a chrome browser window, but noting loads and its just a white background. This issue is not unique to kiro-cli, I had this issue with amazon-q as well, never were able to launch the settings dashboard. That said, I can still use kiro-cli from the command line."
