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 4.18.0-553.105.1.el8_10.x86_64 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 (Ootpa)

### Expected behaviour

kiro-cli version: 1.28.0

Problem: CLI hangs after MCP warning, never shows input prompt

Works with: --tui flag (but very slow)

Doesn't work with: default UI and --legacy-ui

kiro-cli doctor output: sshd config: Could not read sshd_config — missing AcceptEnv Q_SET_PARENT and AllowStreamLocalForwarding yes

Verbose log shows: All API calls succeed (GetProfile, ListAvailableModels, telemetry) — hangs after initialization when rendering the UI

Environment: SSH session to remote Linux server, no root access to modify sshd_config

Started after: laptop restart, was working before with same setup

Debug log location: /tmp/kiro-debug.log

The main ask should be: the CLI should either fall back gracefully to a working UI when sshd features are unavailable, or show a clear error message instead of silently hanging.

### Actual behaviour

agent is in hang state and not able to login to cli.

### Steps to reproduce

kiro-cli version: 1.28.0
