Kiro-cli wont load since version 1.23.0 giving error error: Failed to open database: malformed JSON

### 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

Kiro-cli starts

### Actual behaviour

Since updating to version 1.23.0(also in 1.23.1) I am getting the error error: Failed to open database: malformed JSON when attempting to start kiro-cli with kiro-cli chat. Rolling back to the 1.22.0 version resolves the issue.

### Steps to reproduce

I am not sure what changed. I have been running Kiro-cli/q for 8 some months on this laptop and after this update it was just broken. I have tired to reinstall, wipe out configs and databases for kiro-cli with no success. The only way I can get it to work again is rolling back to the 1.22.0 version.

Beginnen Sie damit, den Fehler mit `kiro-cli chat` auf macOS 26.2.0 zu reproduzieren, wobei Sie wie berichtet `q doctor` und `q restart` verwenden. Vergleichen Sie das Startverhalten der Datenbank zwischen den Versionen 1.22.0 und 1.23.1; fertig ist die Aufgabe, wenn die aktuelle Version ohne den Fehler „malformed JSON“ startet und der gemeldete Rollback-Workaround nicht mehr erforderlich ist.
