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 15.2.0 (24C101)

### Expected behaviour

If both Inline and CLI Completions are enabled, I would expect that the CLI Completions menu would not be closed due to an Inline suggestion being populated.

### Actual behaviour

I start typing a command, CLI Completion menu appears, then an Inline suggestion appears, which causes the CLI Completions menu to close.

### Steps to reproduce

Simply enable both features, open a zsh terminal, and type in a command that will both populate a CLI Completion and an inline suggestion.
