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
I am able to use Kiro-cli post authentication.
### Actual behaviour
Currently I am unable to use Kiro-cli post authentication due to the following error:
```shell
Kiro is having trouble responding right now:
0: Failed to send the request: An unknown error occurred: profileArn is required but no profiles are available. Please log in and select a profile.
1: An unknown error occurred: profileArn is required but no profiles are available. Please log in and select a profile.
Location:
crates/chat-cli/src/cli/chat/mod.rs:1647
Backtrace omitted. Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display it.
Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=full to include source snippets.
```
Notably, the IDE works as expected. Some key details:
- GitHub-authenticated (non-enterprise) user
- kiro-cli whoami works fine
- kiro-cli chat fails with profileArn is required but no profiles are available
- The IDE works perfectly with the same account
- The IDE stores the profile at ~/Library/Application Support/Kiro/User/globalStorage/kiro.kiroagent/profile.json but the CLI never populates an equivalent
### Steps to reproduce
Log in using GitHub SSO as a non enterprise user. The CLI should throw the listed response.
I am receiving this error after re-authentication, trying to doctor, and reinstalling the cli.
