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 6.8.0-94-generic - Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

### Expected behaviour

A Python LSP server is started and is usable from Kiro-CLI

### Actual behaviour

Both pylsp and pyright fail to initialize in Kiro CLI:
- pylsp: Immediate failure "✗ pylsp (python) - failed to initialize"
- pyright: Hangs indefinitely at "◐ pyright (python) - initializing..."

Both work correctly from command line:
- pylsp --version → pylsp v1.14.0
- pyright-langserver --stdio → starts without errors

Installed via: uv tool install python-lsp-server / pyright

Environment:
- OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
- Python: 3.12.11
- Project has uv-managed .venv
- Config: .kiro/settings/lsp.json (valid JSON)

Tried: global install, venv install, absolute/relative paths, symlinks

### Steps to reproduce
