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 6.18.36-1-MANJARO - Manjaro Linux
### Expected behaviour
kiro-cli to work
### Actual behaviour
kiro-cli returns to command prompt
kiro-cli --classic works only
### Steps to reproduce
1. open lxterminal
2. kiro-cli

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure with `kiro-cli` on the reported Celeron J4125 system and compare it with `kiro-cli --classic`. Trace how the bundled bun binary is selected or launched, then verify that the normal TUI works on CPUs without AVX while preserving existing behavior on supported CPUs.
