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

Linux 6.12.57-1-lts - Arch Linux

### Expected behaviour

I expected 'kiro-cli chat' to launch, display the interactive chat interface (including the Kiro CLI logo and welcome messages), and allow me to start chatting with Kiro.

### Actual behaviour

When I run 'kiro-cli chat' in my terminal, it shows no output whatsoever and appears to hang indefinitely. It never displays the interactive chat interface, and no error messages are presented.

### Steps to reproduce

_No response_
