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 26.2.0 (25C56)
### Expected behaviour
The cursor should move down within the dropdown to select the next suggestion.
### Actual behaviour
The suggestion dropdown closes when the down arrow key is pressed, preventing branch selection.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Type `git branch -D` (or any command with autocomplete suggestions)
2. The dropdown shows local branches as suggestions
3. Press the down arrow key to navigate through the suggestions

## Additional description
I have been using this autocomplete feature since Fig and have continuously upgraded through Q CLI to the current Kiro CLI. However, after the migration to Kiro CLI, the behavior has become problematic.
**Troubleshooting Attempts:**
- Ran `kiro-cli doctor` - no issues detected
- Ran `q doctor` - no issues detected
- Reinstalled kiro-cli - issue persists
**Suspicion:**
Configuration conflicts from the fig → Q CLI → Kiro CLI migration pipeline, though I've found no concrete evidence.
